If you haven’t figured it out by now the future of all work is transfer learning and encoding human action so that all possible action is mechanized and commoditized.

I’ve been obsessed with this problem for the better part of 20 years

The fact that we’re finally starting to see it realized is very exciting

It’d be nice if folks like yourself were equally obsessed with the systemic harms that would come about from solving or addressing this problem rather than charging full-speed ahead into the unknown at everyone else’s expense.

Problems aren’t solely technological in nature, nor are their impacts and solutions. Never forget the humans behind the models.

You should be concerned and not excited. This future might be near than we can imagine and we're just accelerating things without thinking about the consequences.
