"The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill, while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth"
- logicchains 2mo agoAI gives the skilled more ability than ever before to create wealth; they can realize an idea by themselves and a few hundred dollars of LLM spending, that would previously have been out of reach for anyone lacking the capital to hire 5-10 people.
- plaidfuji 2mo agoThis assumes that writing standalone apps (what is now implied by “realizing an idea” in the AI hype-o-sphere) still has defensible value
- efields 2mo agoI agree with you in theory, but wealth goes hand in hand with relationships. If you can use your skills to make something great with AI in a short amount of time, someone else probably do it too. If they have better connections than you do, they win. Relationships get you farther than raw skill.
- johnnyanmac 2mo agoYou make the naive assumption that wealth these days is generated through quality products, talent, and hard work. The wealthy know better and that's why they by far profited the most off of AI.
