You have somebody who has an idea that can be brought to market, and somebody else is cryptically detecting it and then selling back their own idea to them.

Right, but this is what I more or less think is going to happen across the whole economy, is that, yes, from this perspective, we can see that everybody is suddenly empowered to build a great business. Well, what do we think about...

the folks who are going to be displaced from the top what are they going to think about all these people building all of these highly competitive businesses and are they going to find a way to do you know what venture capital has done or what record producers have done what they're going to do is they're going to take their superior position at the top and they are going to take most of the wealth that is produced by all of these people who have these ideas that in a proper market would actually create businesses for them and they're going to parasitize them i think that

Oh, I agree that authenticity is going to become the coin of the realm. And anything that can be faked or cheated is going to be devalued and things, you know,

spontaneous jazz or you know comedy that is interactive enough that it couldn't possibly have been generated with the aid of ai those things are going to become prioritized you know spontaneous oratory rather that's great speeches answer some of your questions it answers it answers my question for the tiny number of people who are in a position to do those things.

But the problem is you reference self-correction. And I agree that there's actually an automatic feature of the universe in which the self-correction happens. You can't have a positive feedback that isn't reined in by some outer negative feedback. Right.

But the corrections, the list of corrections involves things like you point to where people become enlightened and they realize that they're doing themselves harm with either the sugar that they're consuming or the dopamine traps on their phone and they get better. But also on the list of corrective patterns are genocide and war and violence. you know, parasitism.

And the problem is these things are destructive of wealth. And so you allude to the superior fact of an open market without moats. Presumably the benefit of that is that more wealth gets created because people aren't kept from doing things that are productive. I see that. But then what is the product of all of this new wealth that is going to be generated by a world empowered by AI?

Does it end up so highly concentrated that you have a tiny number of ultra elites and a huge number of people who are utterly dependent on them? What becomes of those people? The learning process, the self-correction process goes through harm in order to get to that more enlightened solution. There's nothing that protects us from…

And the harm phase being so apocalyptically terrible that, you know, we get to the other side of it and we say, well, that was a hell of a correction. Or maybe there's nobody there to even say that. Those are also on the table.
