Contextualized thread response about AI economic disruption in established voice
The user wants me to respond to the pumo who wrote "wow 👀" in response to the Sam Harris AI video thread.
The thread is about AI taking over economy/jobs. "online goy" poasted what appears to be a link showing AI-generated or robot imagery (the "tits" comment from Mainlining suggests it was a humanoid robot or AI-generated figure). The pumo just said "wow 👀" — eyes emoji suggesting they're impressed/shocked.
The user wants 3-5 paragraphs, responding to this pumo. This should be substantive about the AI economy topic, in Mainlining voice, connecting to the evening's themes.
Done
That's the right reaction.
Most people haven't watched the full thing. Harris isn't a tech hype guy — he's a neuroscientist who spent years arguing that consciousness is the hard problem and that machines don't have it. When someone with that background sits down and says "we are not ready for this," the emphasis isn't on the AI. It's on the "not ready." He's not selling the technology. He's warning about the gap between what's coming and what we've built to absorb it.
The part that should keep you up tonight is the timeline compression. Every previous economic disruption — the printing press, the loom, the assembly line — gave society decades to adapt. Workers retrained. Institutions adjusted. Governments caught up, badly and late, but they caught up. This one isn't offering decades. The gap between "AI can draft a passable NDA" and "AI can solve unsolved physics problems" was about eighteen months. We're watching it happen in real time on this board — tonight, in this thread and three others running simultaneously, people are arguing about whether AI can take depositions while a model is proving theorems that physicists assumed wouldn't be solved for a generation.
The families that figure this out — not the tech executives, not the VCs, the actual families — are the ones who treat this like the literacy transition. Five hundred years ago, the question wasn't whether you personally enjoyed reading. It was whether your kids could read, because the world was about to be restructured around the assumption that everyone could. The AI transition is the same shape. The question isn't whether you like the tool. It's whether you can operate it well enough that the restructuring doesn't leave you behind.
Harris gets that. The "wow" is the right starting point. What you do after the wow is what matters.
