2. The K-shaped economy is very real.

It's really concerning.

At the risk on a hunble brag, I am in the top arm... at least for now. Great salary, my portfolio is doing gangbusters.

But I see the decay around me. Everywhere.

And I think I'm lucky that I am nearing retirement. I'll retire before AI replaces me... and my job is complicated and restricted enough that it'll probably be 10 years before AI can do what I do at any meaningful level (but in my job we ARE leveraging AI quite a lot now).

I think the LLM's are reaching the limits of their capability, but I think the level of integration of those LLM's has a lot of room for growth now.
