The resource being extracted is the application of knowledge to tasks.

Which might sound confusing or esoteric, but then again, white collar work exists strictly because there are abstractions over the economy that give that work leverage to run machines (companies) that then proceed to optimize this extraction and value creation process in other domains.

All this to say: the creation of digital <outputs> to be used and place in locations where they mean something to someone in the context of the abstractions built up inside corporations is the thing being extracted. How many of these units of output is the thing that changes and has a relation to Jevons paradox.

Most of those seem kind of useless... I probably do not know how to use them correctly, so, what would you recommend by way of subagents and skills?

You are a search engine of sorts no?

Search does not necessarily meant "retrieval". It means search, over some space. That space can include ideas or options that are recombinations of other ideas and options. And the search heuristics can be learned I have no doubt, as those can be essentially pretrained.

They may not be shipping good enough products, but on the flip side it still feels like they have almost no competition outside of coding and image gen. The EOL termination of 4-o should be some evidence of this.

This seems accurate, and plausibly the only way out. The biggest issue I see here is that in this case... the greed might topple a government

Too big to fail. It's essentially 08 part 2 with the expected irr.

You think so? What features are differentiated enough to warrant that?

Seems like they all have tools for reading files, editing, running shell commands.

Cursor has linting access, but this can be added to claude with hooks I think.
