Creators, Nurturers, Executors, and Gatekeepers – Cyber Tech

We had an excellent dialog throughout February’s UL Mid-month Meetup, the place we mentioned our careers, how weak they had been to AI, and how one can turn into as resilient as potential.

One UL member, Shantanu Singh, talked in regards to the dichotomy of Gatekeepers vs. Creators, which I assumed was a superb body. It acquired me enthusiastic about all the assorted classes of worth or worth negation within the present financial system. What you see above is what I got here up with out of his concept and the next dialogue with the opposite members.

So the framing is known as a few totally different questions:

1. What are the present class ratios?

2. Which class is most definitely to get crushed by AI?

3. Which is most definitely to outlive and/or develop?

4. If we completely transitioned into Human 3.0, and constructed a post-capitalist society that maximized human , what would this chart appear like?

We had a couple of opinions and observations that all of us agreed on.

• What’s going to matter going ahead (and largely already) is CREATORS

• We didn’t speak about NURTURERS, however I’m positive they received’t thoughts my addition. They’re type of like one other sort of creator, actually. And they might embrace roles like mum or dad, trainer, social employee, and so on.

• EXECUTORS are folks doing many of the on a regular basis work and duties (no, not beheading folks). Stuff like customer support, chilly calling, junior programmers, admins, and so on. Principally, the individuals who get issues performed. Oh, additionally managers. Chill out. It’s a joke. Form of.

• Then you will have the GATEKEEPERS. These are the folks making an attempt to dam or in any other case cease potential CREATORS and EXECUTORS from benefiting from their skills.

Examples of every embrace (however are usually not restricted to):

• CREATORS: Artists, Musicians, Poets, Writers, Entrepreneurs

• NURTURERS: Dad and mom, Academics, Social Staff, Authorities*

• EXECUTORS: Admins, Junior Coders, Managers, Buyer Service

• GATEKEEPERS: Skilled Organizations, Lobbyists

Some examples we talked about had been like the truth that it’s actually laborious to start out a enterprise as a result of there’s a lot purple tape. It’s laborious to supply medical or psychological assist to somebody as a result of solely sure persons are allowed. Solely sure persons are allowed to supply sure authorized paperwork. and so on.

1. The issue of execution

2. The size of execution wanted to do the world’s duties

3. Gatekeepers stopping creators and executors from coming into the sport

AI will crush all of those. Not utterly after all, however massively. Why? Due to what I talked about in that submit above. Principally, AI excels at large-scale execution of automatable duties, and AI will solely get higher and higher at that type of work.

That is phenomenal information for people for a quite simple cause.

There shall be hundreds of thousands extra creators! Proper now it’s laborious to create. It prices cash. There’s paperwork concerned. You have to pay charges. You have to navigate rules.

That is an instance of GATEKEEPING. Not all gatekeepers are folks. We’ve additionally constructed 1,000,000 totally different methods that GATEKEEP, and AI disrupts these as properly.

• Extra folks making artwork, movies, anime, quick tales, performs, motion pictures, and all types of fantastic issues that solely a tiny % of 1% of the planet may do earlier than.

• Extra folks will be capable to have an concept, begin a enterprise, and go to market—all by themselves! Why? As a result of their AIs could have accomplished all of the paperwork for them, and plus they’ll have AI to do the assist, to assist them with gross sales, and the million different small jobs that it takes to run a enterprise.

Briefly, extra artists, and extra entrepreneurs. Not a couple of extra. Tens or tons of of hundreds of thousands extra.

In order that begins to look one thing like this, perhaps, assuming we don’t kill ourselves off whereas making an attempt to get there.

90% of the planet being CREATORS or NURTURERS!

And to be clear, there shall be TONS of EXECUTORS. They’ll simply be AI Brokers.

In the meantime, people shall be targeted on the stuff that issues. Human stuff.

This is what I need from AI, and what I’m making an attempt to assist construct.
