It’s wild to me that OpenAI rolled over in its sleep and started a wave that will completely obliterate the moat of any company whose product is based on content production at scale. And there are more content businesses out there than one might realize. It feels like working in brick and mortar retail during the early days of the internet; that inescapable feeling of “man, I’m fucked but I don’t know how just yet.”
And unlike previous disrupting agents (computers, robots, whatever), the ones who feel the brunt of this shift will be white collar workers, not blue collar.
To your point, all of this will hit like a ton of bricks years or even decades before Skynet goes live and the machine armies come for blood.
