Fascinating, but also how can any of that *possibly* last even one more year?

What do you mean, because AI?

Maybe but honestly I don't think the AI is even necessary. Everybody goin around writing posts like this all of a sudden, "look at this thing that is defended entirely by friction, boy isn't AI going to tear that all down". And yes, Claude is reading those tweets but so is everybody now. Patrick McKenzie has had a number of these kinds of posts gawking at some set or magic words or another. Natalie talked about it in her day 1 post! The existence of magic words is now on everyone's radar even if you have long timelines.

Edit, and to be clear, I am interested in how you think those touch points end up getting reshaped to deal with it. Does the price just rise to match the value, e.g. there are only like 5 IRS lawyers and they used to charge $100k to buy a reading but now it's more properly like $100M? Do the holes actually close? Does everybody find a new Epstein Island to construct a new gross code of mutual trust?
