I think the large shift will not be from jobs to no-jobs, but from jobs to entertainment-based jobs. In a world where everyone’s basic needs are met, the result is an attention-driven economy, not no economy.

The emphasis on altering how our memories work with AI is probably the most dangerous and insidious thing I've ever seen. Luckily, no one involved with any of these projects has any real concept of what people might actually want from AI, so, at least for now, we're safe. https://t.co/9NrovtGazc— Ryan Broderick (@broderick) December 6, 2023

“It’s cool that they’re calling it a “spatial computer”, which is a significant break from the “tech first” way of calling it a “headset”. It’s not about what it is, but what you do with it: You can do all kinds of computing tasks with it, but in a new kind of spatial way.43/?”

It’s surprising how useful screenshots have become, especially on mobile. The pixel layer is the lowest common denominator and ultimately will be the interoperable data layer, especially as AI gets better at operating on pixels.— Amjad Masad ⠕ (@amasad) January 26, 2023
