Daily Balajisms - Se2: Blue Checks are the New Blue Collars | Ep #012

Duke Mtambo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "Blue Checks are the New Blue Collars". The AI summer has flipped our assumptions about its impact, and Balaji discussed with Amjad Massad of Replit how traditional journalism and downstream media are more prone to AI takeover than blue-collar jobs. Balaji envisions a better information supply chain and new media business models using Web3 and crypto-instruments, and believes that centralized AI is inherently unethical because it cannot make up for the true diversity of global tech and media talent.
