I got so annoyed with the “trying to be smart” writing that I summarized it with ChatGPT.

The article “The World Is Ending. Welcome to the Spooner Revolution” from Aethn delves into the transformative impact of advanced AI models on the global socio-economic landscape.

The author critiques the belief in a static “end of history,” suggesting that recent advancements in AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), are catalyzing a profound shift in how work and economic structures function. These AI models have evolved beyond previous limitations, enabling automation of tasks across various knowledge-based professions without extensive fine-tuning.

This technological leap is diminishing the traditional value of wages, as individuals can now leverage AI to perform tasks that previously required entire teams. Consequently, there’s a growing trend toward self-employment and entrepreneurial ventures, echoing the ideals of 19th-century thinker Lysander Spooner, who advocated for a society where individuals operate independently of wage-based systems.

The article posits that this “Spooner Revolution” will lead to a surge in small enterprises, a decline in traditional corporate structures, and a reevaluation of educational and economic institutions to accommodate this new paradigm.
