It feels like many people are looking at AI purely through the perspective of job loss. But if AI is good enough to mass replace all coders, analysts, consultants, managers, etc. at all jobs in the next few years, then AI will be so powerful that our world becomes unimaginable.

Organizational constraints and societal shifts from AI advancement
By
–
The focus on near-term mass replacement of white collar work with AI has two big gaps:
1) The nature of organizations limits the speed of change, even with AGI
2) But if AI is good enough to do all work, the societal changes would be so huge that job loss would be just the start -

1990s WIRED-style coverage of AI culture and communities
By
–
I think WIRED does some really good reporting on technology, but I sort of wish there was still something around like 1990s WIRED, which was a weird insider view of the strange cultures growing up around technology in the early internet. Be interesting to see that but for AI.
