Rabbitholed #81: Generative AI Is (Secretly) Upending Life As We Know It—So Here Are All The Essential Knowledge and Tools to Not to Get Left Behind...and Ride a Wave of Riches Into the Future Instead

"Get up to speed now," the wunderkind 37-year-old CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman answers an interviewer, his eyes as wide as saucers. "Whatever, just, like...get. Like, don't miss out on this one."

It’s hard to fully wrap your head around what is currently happening with the exponential knowledge creation that generative AI is currently unleashing upon the world. In the world of hype that is actually justified, think of this as the “big one.”

Today’s Rabbithole:

Have you ever dreamed of kidnapping the world’s smartest people so that you could force them to constantly tutor you, do work for free, provide an endless font of expertise and create tons of cool amazing art, writing, theorizing, intellectual mimicry— all instantly and at a cost of zero, thereby revolutionizing what it is possible for you to do personally?

No?

This is just a “me” thing it turns out?

Well, go with the analogy anyway.
