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 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.
But if you believe, even like a modest version of this progress, like I'm modest in what I believe relative to you and many of you, like you should be doing this.
You're an idiot if you're not writing for the AIs.
They're a big part of your audience and they're like purchasing power.
We'll see, but over time it will accumulate and they're gonna hold a lot of crypto.
We're not gonna give them bank accounts, at least not at first.
I think I should ask that as a question to you.
