Power Law Worlds and AI?

1•bsuki•1h ago
Hey all,

What do you do about a world that operates on power laws, now that AI makes the best better?

For context, I’ve wanted to be a trader, to work in startups, and more recently, in music. All 3 of these industries clearly show that 10-20% of the people reap majority of rewards.

Now, the people who are experts + know how to use AI are the most equipped to further their leverage.

I initially was demotivated by this, but now it makes me think there must be careers where this doesn’t hold true. (No power laws / no experts, yet)

But is that actually true in capitalist societies? Ie. What do you do about a world that operates on power laws + AI that better equips the experts?

Thanks!
