> AI will make everything free, including itself. The last domino to fall will be free energy, which is humanity’s final frontier.

Final frontier, behind 3 big walls known as "Energy Crisis, Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss". Because those people don't see the walls doesn't mean we won't crash.

> Now, with all of the evidence we are see, this is just the new normal. Software will still make some money this year and the next, but the trend is downward. Someday, that trend will also hit zero.

Feels like seeing the first cars and saying "the evidence shows that it is becoming cheaper to move more people faster than with horses. Transportation will still make some money this year and the next, but the trend is downward. Someday, that trend will hit zero".

> Back in my 2022 article, this was a wild prediction of the future

I can't start to articulate how much I hate it when people talk about their "predictions". "Look, 'ma, I predicted something, I'm some kind of visionary, I'm special".
