The new normal involves fewer and fewer humans in the loop. So it's not just that things are changing and we need to adapt, I think the world will be able to get by with a lot less labor (more capital though). It's not like we're losing a fun hobby, it's a living. It's ikigai but more importantly it's food in the table.

Some seem to think we'll just get 10x as much done. But I just don't think there's that much more stuff that actually needs doing. We won't build 10 Google Mapses, and there aren't 9 other apps that have the utility of Google Maps.

(Please debate me on this as I don't want to be right.)
