Even if this is true, which I doubt, we're supposed to be comforted by the idea that our role in tomorrow's economic system is to be AI's whipping boy?
There is a critical difference between a "Scapegoat" and a "Guarantor."
A scapegoat is sacrificed for someone else's mistake against their will.
A guarantor (or in Japanese terms, a Samurai) voluntarily stakes their reputation to validate the system.
Why does a CEO get paid 100x more than an intern? Not because they type 100x faster, but because they are the "designated thermal fuse" that burns out to save the company.
If AI becomes the engine, "being the fuse" (taking the risk) becomes the most expensive service in the economy. Itβs not comforting, I agree. But it is profitable.
