@Kristof_Poland Im sure your points are awesome and insightful but i keep getting distracted by that extra hand coming out of Atlas’ back. Thats like 2023 Midjourney shit. At the least the text is correct and not Atlantis Rugs.
@_The_Prophet__ I’m starting to appreciate why it is that religions that encourage large families have persisted for thousands of years: the future looks like those that have and successfully raise the children, if for no other reason than that the others and their traditions don’t make it there
Maybe you can finally help me picture something that too few of these demographic collapse discussions address: what happens after the collapse? Seems like the circumstances may even be favorable for people to have more children so is the collapse mostly bad news for the large cohort that struggles to be supported by the smaller following ones? Is it possible there are more opportunities for those younger generations on the other side of the collapse similar to a bubble bursting in the stock market?
@_The_Prophet__ It really is time to push back on the term ‘worker’. Everyone works (in fact the wealthy white collared tend to work more hours than the blue collared ‘working class’). And the point of our equity markets is that anyone can participate in ownership.
@Youliestfu@thenewarea51 For what it’s worth, the man that died in this crash, Josh Baer, was beloved in Austin for all that he did for Austin’s startup community. This is an enormous loss for his family (that’s his son that they pulled out of the plane) but a big loss for Austin as well.
@satyanadella Really well put. We are clearly on the same wavelength given that I just launched a related platform for building and managing processes at ai-first companies: https://t.co/LLnUBrwCWA :)
@_The_Prophet__ I have to thank you and Satya for promoting this idea right after I launched this related to process building & management for ai-first companies. :) https://t.co/urkmuvtxyB
@_The_Prophet__ Well put, as always. I think it’s worth noting though that indispensable individuals are compensated more than ever, but fewer roles depend on particular people. And of course our public equity markets allow workers to participate in the growth of these companies if they want to.
@_The_Prophet__ “That means the real winners are companies that control both”. A more encompassing metric may be along the lines of ai spend to employee spend ratio. Those high in that range from Google and Meta down to solopreneurs running businesses that used to take dozens of people.

@tunguz Bang for the buck is not declining. Today’s frontier model is tomorrow’s nearly-free open one. A token from next year’s model that solves your problem the first time is more valuable than a token today that does not.
@rwalk_xyz Give ‘em a price for each of those. If you can’t close deals that are fair and valuable to both parties then your offering isn’t competitive; that’s on you. If they lose out on the value you’re offering because you wouldn’t let them bully you into giving them more, thats on them.
