Everyone here already knows about glass beads, but the first part of this quote is worth reflecting on.

I’m already seeing people high up in the AI space find that their hard work and knowledge/skillset moat is quickly eroding.

My take is that the 80 IQ approach, simple men, and farmers win in the end. I think survival means checking our ego, letting go of credentials and “prestigious” jobs, and asking ourselves what hard work needs to be done.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
