anthropic.TAM = max(spacexTAM, entire_universe) + 1

The extra dollar values divine omniscience at $1. Clearly a conservative valuation.

This was fully AI written...but it'll also be fully AI consumed. Nobody wrote it, and nobody will read it in its current form. It'll be a compactified graf in someone's LLM response at best.

People haven't quite understood this: AI will make most people functionally illiterate, incapable of writing or reading as those terms have been understood for centuries.

Those who can will form a tiny clique of elite literacy, much like the European intellectuals of the 16th/17th centuries (the 'Republic of Letters'), or perhaps monks during the Middle Ages.

They'll converse among themselves at some textual register, while the rest of society mostly ignores them beyond what echoes in AI results. Mass textuality will have been a fleeting window following the printing press and public schooling.

That window is closing.

It won't revert to pre-textual orality (nobody will be memorizing rhymed couplets in poetry or song), but it won't be the textual mind that created modernity either. It'll be mostly video and audio with hyper-textual AI living under slick new interfaces that are only being pioneered now (engineered by that same textual elite who will live in a different perceptual reality).

Unclear what politics emerge from this (the liberal Enlightenment was only possible under conditions of mass literacy).
