Now that I think about it, this could be a huge opportunity for the UK. If the UK avoided making the same mistakes, they could be a haven from EU AI regulations that was just a short flight away.
**Response to @paulg:**
At this point if I were a European founder planning to do an AI startup, I might just pre-emptively move elsewhere. The chance that the EU will botch regulation is just too high. Even if they noticed and corrected the error (datum: cookie warnings), it would take years.
I knew EU regulators would be freaking out about AI. I didn't anticipate that this freaking out would take the form of unbelievably stupid draft regulations, though in retrospect it's obvious. Regulators gonna regulate.
Something major is happening when the time scale is days. I was there for the last one of these (the web) and even then the time scale was closer to weeks than days.

Fast forward several months. I sent another draft to Trevor Blackwell. "It was hard to finish..." he began. Ugh, I thought, it still sucks! But the rest of the sentence was "because it kept spurring me to work on things." So maybe we're getting close.
**Response to @paulg:**
The first drafts were unreadable. Literally: I sent links to a few people, and I don't think any of them even finished reading the damn thing. They had various plausible excuses, but the pattern was all too clear.
I've been working on a new essay for months. It has been an unbelievable slog. Partly because it's meant to be a complete answer to a question, so I can't do the usual core sample through a subject.

Some rich people keep working hard because they love doing what made them rich. I've found three other types (not mutually excl): the ambitious who keep moving the goalposts, the creatives who keep finding new passions and the calvinists who are afraid to not be working hard

**Response to @paulg:**
So how can investors benefit from the AI revolution? Go back to basics. Invest in smart, effective founders making products users love. You can tell LPs you're investing in AI companies if you want. You probably will be.
**Response to @paulg:**
But although not every big winner will have "AI" in the name of the company, practically every company they see, both winners and losers, will have "AI" in their deck. Using it is an easy claim to make. Random consumers are using it.
**Response to @paulg:**
This will probably happen more for AI than it did for previous waves like microprocessors and the web. Those taught investors to look for "microelectronics companies" or "internet startups." It won't be so critical to look for "AI companies."
Investors are eager to invest in AI companies. But some of the biggest winners from the AI revolution will be existing companies that weren't founded to do AI, but are perfectly poised to benefit from it, as e.g. Facebook was perfectly poised to benefit from smartphones.

People are sleeping on the convergence of AI + AR.
GPT-4 image input is on its way, and Apple’s AR/VR headset is on its way.
\- navigation overlays
\- translation overlays
\- immersive education
\- personal HUDs
The fusion of these 2 technologies will transform everything.
