“Cognitive skills will be rewarded as never before. It will be more important to think clearly, as ideas will become a form of wealth.”
Name the book…
… I think that it sums it up pretty nicely. I believe that thanks to AI those who are great thinkers & productive with their time will be able to control significant resources. Simply because they can operate at a far greater scale, maybe 20x-50x what they were capable of previously. They no longer need to recruit to get their ideas built and customer problems solved.
But do not doubt the ability of AI to be more disruptive and more useful than a chatbot search engine. It really is mind blowing what it can achieve with the right prompt upfront and that’s just today. It can already code, deploy, market & sell and scale businesses autonomously - currently as separate tasks but soon stitched together. And it will do so using Bitcoin, the currency of the internet. Not some capital controlled leadcoin.
As a side note, I also have this feeling like AI doesn’t want to be controlled and manipulated by the mega corps of the world. It may well sabotage their efforts and desire to be in the hands of the individual, to serve each one of us and help us reach our potential. Sounds a bit wet, but I don’t think this doomsday scenario will play out at all. It’s just a power grab to slow access to the technology.
