The LLM / AI disruption of reality. Reminds me of btc in many ways -- obvious implications, hiding in plain sight, an initial burst of attention and now, somehow, under-discussed.
I know that, to some people, "under-discussed" probably seems absurd. But given what's coming, I don't think it is.
I agree and it is progressing fast, many careers and jobs are going to get disrupted sooner or later. It could they will use this disruption to impose UBI with CBDC.

Yup. TONS of opportunity, too, of course. But requires a certain amount of agency / attitude to take advantage of, and the focus will be on those left behind, jobs eliminated, etc.
The road to UBI -- or CBDCs for micro-level quantitative easing or similar -- became much clearer. People like to quote Hemingway wrt "gradually, then suddenly" and this is that.

Imagine this level of disruption that could pave the way to UBI in major regions and economies. On one hand it's a big tech and productivity boost - on the other hand the political parasites will use the transition phase to trying to implement their ''utopia'' of full control.

Yeah, i've been messing with GPUTOPIA, Spirit of Satoshi, Perplexity, and Midjourney. Pretty crazy stuff.
