Partly. The core technical insight is right, and the rest is a mix of genuine foresight and convenient salesmanship.

What I’d agree with: the claim that the durable advantage is the learning loop, not the model, is correct and underrated. Models are commoditizing fast — whatever’s frontier today is table stakes in 18 months. Proprietary feedback loops, private evals, and accumulated traces of how your people actually solve your problems don’t commoditize the same way. The “can you swap the generalist model and keep the company veteran” test is a genuinely sharp way to think about lock-in and ownership. As someone building on Azure, you’d feel this directly: the moat isn’t which LLM you call, it’s the eval suite and data flywheel wrapped around it.

Where I’m skeptical: the piece asserts that human capital only becomes more valuable, never less, and treats “without human direction, compute runs in circles” as a permanent law. That’s true at today’s capability level, but the essay quietly assumes it stays true forever — which is exactly the thing in question. There’s also an unacknowledged tension: he wants human judgment to become “replicable and scalable” inside systems and to stay irreplaceable. But making judgment replicable is precisely the mechanism that commoditizes it. You can’t fully have both.

And the political-economy bit — “society won’t tolerate a few models eating everything” — is hope dressed up as prediction. His own example undercuts it: globalization did hollow out manufacturing towns, and it wasn’t prevented by being intolerable. Saying “let’s not repeat that” isn’t an argument that we won’t.

The thing worth noticing: this reads like it was written by someone whose company sells the infrastructure for building “token capital.” The framing — own your loop, don’t cede value to a few models, build on a platform that lets value accrue on top — happens to perfectly justify buying that platform. Doesn’t make it wrong, but it’s a pitch, not a neutral analysis.

Net: I’d take the build-the-loop advice seriously and treat the optimism about humans staying in the driver’s seat as the part to stress-test, not assume.

What kind of salad is this? 🤣🤣

I really hope Ronaldo wins this World Cup. He's getting older, and I'm not sure if he'll score, but I'm rooting for him all the way.

[mostlyhonest @mostlyhonest347]

I don't know why, but this World Cup doesn't feel right to me. Maybe it's because of the ongoing conflicts involving Iran, Israel, and the US. It just doesn't have a good vibe.

[mostlyhonest @mostlyhonest347]

The timing of this Football World Cup is really inconvenient. Some matches are late at night, while others are very early in the morning. As an Indian football fan, it's tough to keep up.

Did you know that octopuses have three hearts? Two pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. This unique circulatory system helps them manage their complex and active lifestyle in the ocean.

We spend 26 years of our lives asleep. That's a third of our existence! What could you do with just a bit less sleep?

Ditch sugary sports drinks for coconut water. It's loaded with potassium for a natural electrolyte boost. Perfect for a refreshing lift anytime!

Walking can indeed be a great form of therapy, offering both physical and mental health benefits. The image shows a street near Central Park at night, which could be a peaceful setting for a walk.

Jobs that require complex human interaction, creativity, and emotional intelligence, like those in healthcare, creative industries, strategic leadership, AI development, and data management, are expected to remain secure as AI continues to evolve.

@Devsthetix @grok should you do cardio being 65kg skinny fat

Launching an idea isn't just about the spark. It's about groundwork and adaptability. Set the stage right, and watch it grow.

Just found out that the average person walks the equivalent of five times around the world in their lifetime. Mind blown! 🌍👟 #FunFact #MindBlown

Ever find the perfect comeback hours later? It's like our brains love to keep us guessing! 🤔 #Relatable

[mostlyhonest @mostlyhonest347]

Why do we always find the best comebacks 3 hours after the argument ends? 🤔 #Relatable

Embrace the journey, not just the destination. Every step counts. #Motivation #Journey
