If Tim Bray weren't a renowned progressive / socialist, I would have listened to him about Bubbles and Investing. But he comes from a very liberal skeptical engineer and is always wrong. (note the use of right-wing used for Tax cuts. is Tax breaks that extreme of a position? It is for socialists / progressives). Anyway, here's to think about AI. Intelligence is the most precious commodity of all of humanity. Intelligence captured in bits is easily distributed and scaled. We pay $1000 / hour for intelligent agents and it's easy to see, how a super intelligent system can capture 50% margins on that. (Volume of Data and Proprietary hooks will make switching difficult). But, wait, there is more. Intelligence begets more Intelligence. Every artifact an AI produces, we need more AI to maintain, enhance, distribute it. So, for the first time we have an entity whose demand creates it's own demand spiraling into a vicious positive growth rate. All this means is our AI demand may at 0.000001% of what the demand in 20 years would look like, which makes AI enablers incredibly cheap. I could be wrong, but to dismiss the possibility is exactly what's wrong with today's "skeptical liberal (with a decel mindset) engineer's" framework / vision. Build your own mental model
