Cal Newport:

In his famous 2021 essay,​ “Moore’s Law for Everything,”​ [Sam] Altman made the following grandiose prediction:

“My work at OpenAI reminds me every day about the magnitude of the socioeconomic change that is coming sooner than most people believe. Software that can think and learn will do more and more of the work that people now do. Even more power will shift from labor to capital. If public policy doesn’t adapt accordingly, most people will end up worse off than they are today.”

Four years later, he’s betting his company on its ability to sell ads against AI slop and computer-generated pornography.
