Tyler’s concern is that bottlenecks (maybe energy, land, social trust, governance, etc) would emerge like hard stone after the soft stone's been eroded and slow multi-factor growth. But this assumes that artificial intelligence interacts with bottlenecks passively or linearly. If intelligence can reshape the system--finding shortcuts, parallelizing tasks, and manipulating human institutions--it becomes much harder to imagine bottlenecks being constraints to the same degree that they've been historically. There are limits of course. Some constraints are impossible to compress beyond a point. When the hard stone has been eroded, the very hardest stone is easier to trip on. However, a sufficiently strategic intelligence could also anticipate such constraints earlier and begin solving them proactively, or reorganize systems to minimize their impact.

Saving it, despite Tyler looking way exactly like Modi here. ☺️
Just 10 minutes into it and already loving it 💚 🥃
