I must share an old friend’s clever reply to someone actually asking, “If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?”, which was: “When you’re smart, you’ll know.” 😏
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/
