summary

Argues history warns against assuming every new tech is the biggest change and urges practical fixes: build open-source LLMs into an application layer (ARA) that aggregates sources, enable data portability and API access so users can carry social graphs, and update antitrust and consumer laws. Claims AI acts like a metabolic fitness landscape driving cloud and electricity demand, warns capitalist incentives amplify that, and proposes counterfactual modeling and paying caregivers as concrete policy and research targets.
