Alfred Lin(@Alfred_Lin):Great piece by my partner Konstantine, on how AI is a cognition revolution and how it compares to what we saw with the industrial revolution. "Over the course of about two centuries, physical work went from 99% biological to 99.9% machine. [...] A century ago, 99% of cognitive work was done by humans. In the near future, 99.9% will be done by machines. What stays economically human the longest is what was never really cognition to begin with: wanting things, choosing between them, being accountable for the choice, and being trusted by other people."
