Dystopian Futurist thought from @PeterDiamandis : "In the old world, you needed capital (money) to start a business. In the new world, the only scarce resource is compute. Imagine that each month, every citizen is issued a massive allowance of processing power—millions of “tokens” of intelligence—into their “compute wallet.” For example: If you want to design a new video game, you spend your credits to have an AI code it. If you want to build a house, you spend your credits to have a swarm of robots assemble it. You are no longer a “worker.” You have been promoted to CEO of Your Own Life. Why does this shift matter? Because there is a fundamental difference between money and compute. Money is a unit of consumption – it allows you to buy what already exists. Compute is a unit of agency – it allows you to create what doesn’t exist. When you hold compute, you hold the potential energy to code a new app, design a custom home, or simulate a medical cure without needing to hire a single human employee. We are moving from a world where wealth measures what you can have, to a world where wealth measures what you can do."
