brainthought: i feel like we are rapidly seeing a winners/losers separation due to ai of an inherent advantage that curious/persistent+resource/education gifted people have and will have as far as navigating ai-assisted roadblocks. knowing how to get a resume shoved through corporate robot filters by knowing humans on the inside, finding and hunting resources on obscure websites, asking real people questions instead of chatgpt, taking the time to learn real skills and being the top 10% knowledge experts instead of offloading it.

counterthought: (hasn't that winners/losers separation always existed, just the medium of friction has changed? for a while it was simply being *online* that separated this knowlage-class. and that was more strictly a money and education separation of who could afford a computer and internet.)

side-thought: (are you just framing this because that curiosity advantage is advantageous for you? or is that one pro-ai blog poster who made a surprisingly compelling argument for it in a ruthless silicon-valley sense more right in a technical sense (not in an ethical sense), when he mentioned how it'll enhance the entrepreneurs who need to learn Just Enough of many skills to duct tape a startup together?)

counterthought: it [the friction existing] shouldn't be like this though.

counter-counter thought: and it will always, unfortunately, still exist to some degree. so too - is the necessity to always push back on it.
