A Substack post crashed the stock market in late February.
One researcher (Citrini) published a doom scenario for AI companies, arguing the technology would disrupt jobs faster than the economy could absorb. Citadel responded with a grounded rebuttal, basically saying: adoption curves are slow, enterprises move like molasses, the disruption will be gradual enough to manage.
Both sides missed something.
Everyone is so focused on AI being used to improve the model itself that they are ignoring AI being used to improve enterprise adoption itself.
Self-learning changes the capability curve. Self-embedding changes the adoption curve. And if the adoption curve is the main thing Citadel is relying on to assume the disruption is slow, and AI starts bending that curve faster, then the S-curve model they built their argument on falls apart.
Regardless of which side you agree with, I gave a detailed list of actions I would take to help more valuable and adaptable in the AI age: https://lnkd.in/ev4m_twZ
