Actually Claude can teach humans more about humans by providing the language and personality knobs. For casual conversation, have 100 of personality profiles and language styles and upfront tell the user that they are engaging with P profile currently and see how humans relate to it. This will teach humans how to peel back layers of style, fluff, flair from language vs facts.

Analogy: Textual version of Material Design from Google.

Standardization in important information rich environment is good. Standardization for art is not good. We should not mix these two distinct scenarios. Or maybe I am old.

I think Peter Schiff has been beating the drumbeats of collapse since 2008. But now on the other hand, we have a rising power China trying overthrow the current system which will accelerate the process. China wasn't in that position in 2008.

I have two observations : We have so much compute power sitting idle, finally with the help of AI we can get what we need for solving personal problems. Most of the time, our problems require emphemeral solutions. e.g. building a complaint management app for my building. or something simpler.

Another observation : I expect in future the UIs could be dynamic, fluid, AI-generated and personalized. Old person, here's big font for you. You need to just know current balance, here's the number.

Your brain is also self-reflective. It can from the inside change its expectations. Reaching for the metaphor of evolved prediction machine implies you can't train in any other way, but you can. Let's say society collectively decides (or capitalism) that we need liesure living just like Europeans do, then that will be the system. Why are we following on Elon's footsteps of compressing 1000 years of progress into 100 years. No asteriod is coming to destroy us, so no rush.
