  Or why do you think your small AI-driven business can survive against richer people who can pay for more compute and thus do better than you?
I don't know. Maybe because of my creativity?

Anyways, I'm heavily invested in compute companies right now.

How would you keep that up? I think there's a false belief, especially common in business-inflected spaces (which includes the tech sector), that skills and abilities can be endlessly specialized (e.g. the MBA claim that they're experts at running businesses, any business). The more you outsource to AI the less creative you'll become, because you'll lose touch with the work.

You can only really be creative in spaces where you regularly get your hands dirty. Lose that, and I think your "creativity" will become the equivalent of the MBA offering the same cookie-cutter financial engineering ideas to every business (layoffs, buy back stock, FOMO the latest faddish ideas, etc).
