A new essay by Shane Snow. Disruptive innovation doesn’t mean that we have to use the hot new thing for everything. We can use our human brains and choose when and when not to.
Good stuff! AI Search is an interesting example because I'd actually argue there's not a big difference between using ChatGPT and Google right now, since Google is disrupting itself so aggressively by making AI Overviews and AI Mode (powered by Gemini) the default search experience for most informational searches.
All technology, disruptive or not, aims to increase capital by decreasing labor, by replacing real, red-blooded intelligence with artificial, friction-less, mechanical intelligence. Distracted by wars rooted in biblical prophecies, the public's failure to heed such contemporary prophets as George Orwell and Aldous Huxley has virtually undone Western civilization.
I agree with the article, but what the author/AI evangelist doesn’t seem to get is that more and more jobs are going to be lost. It won’t just affect graduates. It’ll affect universities when students go: ‘What’s the point in going when afterwards I’m going to be in a mountain of debt and don’t have a job?’.
What will be interesting is when people get angry, and politicians worry that they might see massive job losses as a result of this on their own patch. Watch them change their tune and be very anti-AI.
Or a disgustingled jobless mass gets angrier and angrier and things get violent, like what’s happening in Kenya

Best thing I have read on AI to date!
