Hello from San Diego. I'm at the ASU-GSV conference for various purposes, the leading one being tracking how educators, companies, and financial firms are thinking about AI. Here I’ll share some notes from the day. I began by going to the AIR Show, the event’s spinoff focused on AI and education. It took place at a separate hotel, and apparently included a lot of K-12 teachers and staff for the two days before I arrived. A medium-sized vendor’s hall greeted me with a mix of AI start-ups and established players showing their new or modified wares.
Your four models are very interesting, it is something I have been thinking about both on the teaching and research sides. If I had been present I think I would have voted for 4. for 2033, but perhaps expect 3. in the longer-run. I find it hard to see why we will need so many people working in academia as AI progresses.
Interesting discussion, thanks. I’m reminded of the 80’s discussion about robotics having a similar problem, sadly due to opposition from trade unions (and some business owners) the vast majority of manufacturing went to China via Hong Kong.

"Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital" - okay, next on the book list...
It's solid. A bit repetitive, but the points are very useful.
I so appreciate reading this analysis--I only wish I could have been there!
Hey, wish you'd been here too! Thank you.

Good historical comparison, Steve.
