Everyone in AI is building the wrong thing for the same reason

Every AI founder I talk to is on an accelerating treadmill, burdened by a nagging suspicion that the entire industry is moving too fast in a direction that doesn't quite make sense, with no idea about how to get off. There is an overwhelming feeling that if everyone stopped and

🔁 @SecondUniverse:

There are a lot of threads about this depressing article:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/

It supports the idea of a social media ban for under-16s.

I also don't want to see children exposed to offensive, dehumanizing "content", but I am wondering why a ban is the cure. The examples the writer cites are all examples of simply unacceptable speech. If the social media platforms had effective moderation, this would not be a problem. If every instance of misogyny and other hate speech was taken down, and abusers got reliably suspended and banned, the experience of girls and minorities on these platforms would be infinitely better. The people doing the hate might be pushed to reconsider their behavior.

Instead we will take away internet freedom from young people and force identity verification on everyone, undermine VPNs and so on. Why? Because that will be easier and cheaper for the tech giants.

Don't ban girls from social media. Ban the abusers.

THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS

citriniresearch.com · Feb 22

A Thought Exercise in Financial History, from the Future

Shared by @ChrisPirillo and 23 others.
Chris Pirillo (@ChrisPirillo) · Feb 24
🔁 @chrispirillo:

This "argues" that for all of modern history, human intelligence has been the "scarce input." We are now entering a world where intelligence is becoming abundant and cheap, requiring a total rewrite of our economic and social frameworks.

Hold onto your butts: https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic
#AI Threads

The "Ghost GDP" Phenomenon: By 2026, AI productivity is booming and corporate profits are at record highs. However, because AI agents don't spend money, the "velocity of money" flatlines. This creates "Ghost GDP"—output that looks good on paper but doesn't circulate through the human economy.

The Intelligence Displacement Spiral: A negative feedback loop begins. As AI becomes more capable, companies cut white-collar staff to save costs and reinvest those savings into even more AI. This leads to mass unemployment in sectors like software, finance, and consulting.

The Death of Friction: The "intermediation layer" of the economy - businesses that thrive on human laziness or brand loyalty (like DoorDash, travel agents, and insurance renewals) - collapses. AI agents automatically find the cheapest, fastest options, destroying the profit margins of these "habitual" services.

Financial Contagion: The crisis spreads to the $13 trillion mortgage market. Since mortgages are underwritten based on the assumption of stable white-collar income, the mass displacement of high-earners leads to a spike in defaults, even among "prime" borrowers with high credit scores.

The Policy Failure: The government struggles to respond because its revenue is based on taxing human labor. As payroll and income tax receipts plummet, the social safety net is stretched thin, leading to civil unrest and "Occupy Silicon Valley" protests.

Nifty "what if" read about a possible economic future shaped by current trends in finance, employment, and the displacements caused by #LLM tech.

It's speculative fiction, and I don't accept all the premises, but it's thoughtful and well written, as a cautionary tale.

Worth a few minutes read, regardless if you are an "#AI" skeptic or booster. Helpful if you have some basic familiarity with #finance terms, but not essential to follow the story.
