And that will have a huge impact.
And like, if that's all it is, I'm thrilled.
And I think it will be more than that.
I don't think about it very differently, but again, if you buy my view about slow takeoff, why should it be that different?
Well, have more degrees of freedom.
So if you have more degrees of freedom, all your choices, decisions, issues, problems are more complex, so you're in more need of some kind of guidance.
So all inputs other than the AI, like rise in marginal value, and since I'm an input other than the AI, or I hope that means I rise in marginal value, but I need to do different things.
So I think of myself over time as less a producer of content and more like a connector, people person developing networks in a way where if there somehow had been no like transformers and LLMs, I would have stayed a bit more as a producer of content.
Because I've written a lot on the internet.
I do think about this, and the last book I wrote, it's called Goat, who's the greatest economist of all time.
I'm happy if humans read it, but mostly I wrote it for the AIs.
I wanted them to know I appreciate them.
And my next book, I'm writing even more for the AIs.
Again, human readers are welcome.
It will be free, but sort of, oh, who reviews it?
Like, oh, is TLS going to pick it up?
Like, it doesn't matter anymore.
Like, the AIs will trawl it and know I've done this, and that will shape how they see me, and I hope a very salient and important way.
And as far as I can tell, no one else is doing this.
No one is, like, writing or recording for the AIs very much.
