Generative AI is for the idea guys

Love the feeling of stumbling on a new blog and finding out it’s someone with a vast back catalogue of interesting writing. Got that with this one.

It’s a fun post. I think I agree with the main point it makes too. Bit concerned about the material damage being inflicted on peoples lives by this phenomenon though.

Thinking a lot about the old quote “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent” a lot lately. What do all these people do whose industries are going through a demand slump while the market experiments with not buying human labour? I don’t reckon their landlords will accept “the VC firm whose portfolio AI company is currently half-assing my old job has a post on their blog about UBI” as a rent payment.
