shovels 1. help you get more done, increasing wealth, and 2. don't concentrate wealth in the hands of the guy who made the shovel

If ai isn't doing 1 then everything else is moot
2 ai might concentrate wealth but there's evidence to the contrary as well.
Chinese models are generally 6-9 months behind and are open
Capex is high and one of the major limiting factors is energy. Energy is pretty well distributed
Llm providers as they are have no moat. Anthropic is always trying to get regulatory capture to build one.

How does he plan to stop ai development?
If he's planning on having some "one" to control it, same problem of power

There seems to be only 1 solution, distribute power so that no one person or group can control all or most of it.

Yes defnitly. I am very happy the internet brings these opportunities to all humanity. Still in order to proof to an imployer, that one can fulfill what is needed, some certificate will help a lot to...

Right but if you're looking at the society level then the current system of using a 4 year college as certification is completely asinine

Certification could be done much more effectively as testing (over time is fine but again why does itbtake 4 years)

And if you're looking for standardized minimum competency the brand names like Harvard and oxford are way too overbought

A good professor can absolutely help. What I disagree with is the current model. If you have a great professor in 1 school then it should be accessible to a much larger audience than the 200 students in that current class. The social status of education and the filtering needs is partly why its not widely available.

If you change the incentives then tech could drastically lower education prices

Yes. And I totally think, that this will be happening in the successful societies. Or the other way around. Wherever this change takes place, will outperform places that do not offer the same opportunity to everyone.
