Huge difference back then. Businesses were extremely slow to adopt personal computers. They didn't need them; they didn't offer any value. They added complexity and time. It didn't help. There are still people pushing paper today. That's the difference. AI replaces entire departments dude!!!! It is not the same and this is going to be a giant fucking disaster.

I’m going to tell you how much worse it was at the start of the PC Revolution for white collar workers trying to adapt, vs today with AI Today, presumably every white collar worker has access to a smart phone and/or a PC/laptop. Back then, a PC cost $4,995 , an off brand was $3,995. 5k in 1984 is about $16k today. It was really expensive. The only reason I could learn how to code and support software is because my job let me take home a PC to learn. By reading the software manual. Literally. RTFM. Or pay to go to training. Classes that started at hundreds of dollars then. It was expensive. It absolutely limited who could get ahead. Today, ANYONE can go to their browser, to the AI LLM website of their choice, and type in the words “I’m a novice with zero computer background, teach me how to create an agent that reads my email and …” That concept applies to LEARNING ANYTHING Think about what this means. Any employee of any company can say “ I need to learn how to xyz for my job , which is to do the following: Tell me what more information do you need to help me be more efficient, productive and promotable”. Or “ what new skills can you teach me that will help me reduce my chances of getting laid off “. Or “what suggestions do you have for me to communicate to my boss, who I barely know, to help my chances of staying employed “ These aren’t great prompts. But they are a start that anyone can take. Think about how incredible that is. Back in the day was so much harder for white collar workers. It was harder for new grads because unless they took comp sci, they probably had never used a PC. Big Companies are going to cut jobs. No question about it. Small companies is are going to need more and more AI literate thinkers who can help them compete or get an edge What I tell every entrepreneur, and it’s more crucial today. “ when you run with the elephants there are the quick and the dead. Adopt tech quickly , you can out maneuver big companies. “

An article from the 90s explaining how in the 1980s, personal computers changed the dynamic of college vs high school workers. College grads learned how to use PCs and grew wages faster Mind you, this was when interest rates were 15pct, white collar unemployment was the highest it’s been any non covid year, general unemployment was 10pct, there was a recession, 18pct mortgages, and the start of the savings and loan industry collapse. The economy was a mess. Except it was the start of the “digital revolution “ which lead to change. Here we are at the early days of the AI revolution. I think it will be very analogous to what happened back then. If you think learning how to use Clause seems daunting, imagine being 50 yrs old in 1983, not knowing how to type, using a 1.0 key adding machine with a tape roll to do all your work as an analyst and realizing you had to figure out how your brand new IBM PC and lotus 1-2-3 worked. Or having only used a typewriter your entire career , then having to learn the new PC and WordStar. Trust me. WordStar key combinations were far harder to learn than telling Claude what you want done Lots of people couldn’t figure it out. Those who did were more productive Ctrl QA with AI nber.org/digest/sep97/h…

something i noticed: gpt-5.4 high and medium are similar, but high does a smart double-check when needed, while medium usually doesn't opus 4.6 seems close to gpt-5.4 medium, though it seems to need fewer double-checks so for me: gpt-5.4 high > opus 4.6 > gpt-5.4 medium

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Iran just dropped its official demands to end the war. Tehran wants: 1. Ironclad guarantees the war never happens again 2. Every single U.S. military base in the Middle East shut down 3. Full compensation paid by the U.S. and Israel for all damage 4. Complete end to all wars across the region, including against pro-Iran groups 5. A brand-new legal regime giving Iran control over the Strait of Hormuz 6. “Hostile media” figures handed over to Iran That’s their price for peace. To that, Trump had already released a "preemptive strike" by saying: "They want to make a deal. I don’t!" I don't see it happening, guys. Source: RN Intel

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Details coming out about a possible U.S–Iran deal The U.S. is hinting there’s “room to negotiate” on Iran’s frozen money. They’re not calling it reparations… more like just giving back what’s already Iran’s. U.S. wants Hormuz reopened, wants Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile gone, and a long-term deal covering nukes, missiles, and regional proxies. Iran wants guarantees the war won’t start again, and compensation. Let's hope things move fast this week. Source: The Kobeissi Letter

BREAKING 🔴 According to Axios: The Trump administration has begun initial discussions on what peace talks with Iran might look like, involving Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. No direct U.S./Iran contact in recent days. Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have passed messages between the two sides, with Egypt and Qatar telling the U.S. and Israel that Iran is interested in negotiating. The U.S. wants six commitments from Iran: 1. No missile program for five years 2. Zero uranium enrichment 3. Decommissioning of bombed reactors at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow 4. Strict outside observation of centrifuges and related nuclear machinery 5. Regional arms control treaties with a missile cap no higher than 1,000 6. No financing for proxies — Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas "Our view is we've stunted Iran's growth," a U.S. official told Axios.
