The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or using their style as an inspiration.

I think that the role of the various people on a software team will begin to merge. Product designers, managers, front-end versus back-end, these feel like distinctions that will begin to fade from relevance. I think that's okay. I think it will make us feel more powerful, will elevate workers to a higher tier of organizational operation, and will increase the flexibility of computation.

It means you want to save money. Specifically government money. Tax dollars. Don't spend them, instead try and build wealth. Okay, but, government spending is spent to address needs. Of the people. Ideally, of ALL people with that need. So if you aren't spending to resolve needs, the need still remains. When needs exist, and government does not resolve them, who steps in but private enterprise? Charity is a feeling, charity is a virtue, but charity is not resolution. The need remains, we just feel better about it. Sometimes it's okay to have open needs, they give us the opportunity to feel virtuous in the same way that low level monsters let adventurers level up. But when a government could, but doesn't, address a need, then private enterprise steps in. And private enterprise does not, as a rule, step in if there is no profit to be made. So they tune their approach such that profit is extracted, thus levying their tax upon those they serve. As soon as they are able, they cut the service down and they supply a worse and worse product and they starve their workers and they export our wealth to be used to enslave the afar and import their toil.
