I stumbled upon this clip of Eric Weinstein the other day. He had a great quote:
The good news is that you can rearrange any subject to learn most of it very, very quickly. The bad news is it will feel terrible because you will be told you're doing the wrong thing and dooming yourself to a life of mediocrity as a Jack-Of-Many-Trades-Master-Of-None.... But in fact the problem is that the Jack-Of-One-Trade is the connector of none

interesting take.
with every new subject i study, i already feel like i know nothing for a very long time… how will that feeling get worse with AI?
if anything, won’t the faster learning curve give people more confidence as they learn a new subject?

This was is 2019 before AI really took off. I think what he's saying is back then it was almost a superpower if you could figure out how to rearrange any subject to learn 80% with 5-10% effort. Depending on the subject, it may feel shitty because of the voices in legacy education will say "that's not the way you're supposed to learn it."

Another great vid of Eric talking about AI
AI has caused our "water to break" so to speak for capitalism, and a lot of people are running around worried about it rather than "getting to the hospital."
