.@pmarca on the economic experiment playing out in real time as AI is put in the hands of programmers:
"If you believe in the Luddite zero-sum argument, you would expect that they would be working less and less... getting paid less and less, and rapidly becoming unemployed."
"The observed behavior of what's happening is very clear, which is the opposite."
"They're working harder than ever. They're working more hours than ever."
"They stop sleeping... they're bleary-eyed, they've got these huge bags under their eyes. They're completely exhausted, but they're euphoric."
"If you increase marginal productivity of the worker, you don't have a diminishment of human work, you have an expansion of human work."
