How quickly is AI compute power advancing?

Since deep learning started in 2010, training computation has doubled every 6 months, and from 2012 to 2018, compute used in large training programs grew by 300,000 times.

What is the impact of growing AI data centers on the average person?

The massive energy demand of data centers is causing electricity prices to rise, with costs in areas near centers jumping up to 267% compared to five years ago, as costs are passed to consumers.

Where will future power and upside be created in the economy?

Power will come from controlling infrastructure like data centers, chips, energy, and algorithms, and value generation is moving toward extreme environments like deep sea or orbit, away from where most people physically live.

What levers are available for individuals to materially change their position in the new world?

Individuals must shift focus to asset ownership (equitying businesses, land, scarce IP), build durable networks instead of relying solely on personal brands, and move early in the transition window.

What is the suggested formula for increasing one's skill set for the post-AI economy?

The formula involves increasing one's skill set with AI, then increasing earnings, and finally increasing investment in assets.

A Once in a Lifetime Economic Reset is Coming…

The Imminent Post-Labor Economy
📌 The transition to a post-labor economy, accelerated by AI, means labor effort will no longer guarantee security, potentially leading to widespread irrelevance for those without ownership.
📈 Computing power for AI training has doubled every 6 months since 2010, with OpenAI noting a 300,000x growth in compute used between 2012 and 2018.
⚠️ Estimates suggest up to 300 million full-time jobs globally could be affected by language and vision models capable of drafting, coding, and planning.
📉 This shift creates a post-consumer market where fewer people have jobs and money to spend, causing the economy to serve machines first.

Power Structure Shift and Inequality
🏛️ Future power will stem from controlling infrastructure (data centers, chips, energy, algorithms) rather than just money, leading to an alliance between tech elites and governments.
🛑 The primary risk is human elites using AI to lock in power and manage compliant populations, rather than a self-aware AI takeover.
⚡ AI infrastructure growth is already impacting consumers; in some areas near major data centers, power costs have jumped 267% over five years, passing grid expansion costs to households.
🌍 Value generation is decoupling from physical location, moving toward extreme environments (deep sea, orbit), leaving most of humanity as "managed legacy systems."

Actionable Strategies for Ownership and Adaptation
🔑 The essential escape route is shifting focus from pure labor to asset ownership: equity in businesses, land, infrastructure, and scarce Intellectual Property (IP).
📧 Creators must establish owned distribution channels; building a newsletter is critical, as it serves as a tangible asset that can launch multiple businesses (exemplified by Ashley Graham).
💼 Focus on buying boring businesses located locally, as these roles may be harder for AI to immediately automate.
⚙️ The path forward involves a formula: Increase AI skill set $\rightarrow$ Increase earnings $\rightarrow$ Increase investment in assets within enduring businesses.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Gain ownership stakes immediately; your claim ticket on the future depends on owning assets rather than renting labor by the hour.
➡️ Integrate AI into your current role now by asking your boss for AI subscriptions or permission to host hackathons, aiming to become an augmented human worker.
➡️ Avoid being a "solopreneur"; embed yourself in durable networks (firms, tight coalitions controlling assets) as isolation will be highly dangerous in this new environment.
➡️ Convert spikes of income into boring ownership through long-duration stakes, rather than solely focusing on lifestyle spending.
