Yeah.
And so a lot of this low hanging fruit gets picked.
I do too.
Going back to your point about the world seeming very metastable, do you think that in 2017 or in 2022, you would have predicted that 2026, with this current level of AI capability, the world would feel so normal?
Yeah, I largely agree with this.
I think many people believe that there is like a point in the future at which like today is Singularity Day and everyone is going to wake up on Singularity Day and be like, wow, we're in the future.
And it seems like it just doesn't work that way.
And people treat their reality as normal.
They hedonically adapt so fast.
Like the models of today are just unbelievably capable compared to the models of like three years ago.
If you sent Sol to three years ago, like 2023 me, I would have just been mind blown and be like, wow, the future is going to be so different.
But it's not.
I'm still doing much of the same stuff that I did then.
I made this point to like AI safety people so many times where it's like they're very worried about human disempowerment.
It's like the vast majority of humans are already pretty disempowered.
If they have power, it's...
In being a part of a larger collective, like the collective of potential like people that can be drafted in the military, the collective of like workers who can withhold labor or taxpayers who can withhold taxes.
But like the average person really has very little power over the world.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's a great place to end on.
