This is a powerful and thoughtful writing — one that speaks not only to artists, but to anyone who still believes that creativity is one of the most essential parts of being human.

As I reached the end, a question quietly came to mind:

👉 In a world where AI can do almost everything —

what is the one thing humans most need to hold on to?

Not to defeat AI.

But simply…

to remain BEING A HUMAN.

This is a great article Duy Le.

Allow me share another perspective that to me, answers many questions well other than the 4 perspectives.

The Bitcoin perspective / Critical Mass of Developers perspective.

OK. This is actually two perspectives.

But the second follows from the first.

1. The Bitcoin Perspective --> If people own their money, they can defund AI if they feel devalued by it.

This is a new choice humanity needs to have in its hands.

To me, the fact that governments own our money so they can print a bunch of it, give it to AI companies who will run ahead of socially approved litigation, isn't a good idea.

We're not children whose needs (like AI) and money has to be planned for by big daddy / mommy.

2. The Critical Mass of Developers.

Imagine a global society that has probably run on Bitcoin for decades.

How many top level Developers (say like Illya Sutskever or Sam Altman) will it have?

1000?

I'm thinking 1 million plus great AI Developers.

Why?

They'll be able to have this skill coz the money - Bitcoin - is a developer's protocol. Everybody will be some sort of Developer.

This is where we are going eventually and when we reach here, AI will be as threatening to our society as much as we fear PCs.

Why?

We shall be able to switch it on or off in 1000 different ways. To dull it, Amp up, tweak it, as society see fit.

Society decides.

With the only money that can work as well as a vote for the future - Bitcoin.

(All other coins and monies can be printed free of charge).

Conclusion: we're broke rn. AI is going to make us poorer if we don't switch lanes. We and the AI are doomed to collapse unless something changes.

It's going to be a painful lesson for humanity, but it must be learnt.
