Why friction is necessary for growth

I’ve always said that we need to get out of our comfort zone, to grow. I’ve never thought it necessary to expound; it’s such a “no-brainer.”

Right now, LLMs are selling a vision of “friction-free” productivity, but we haven’t yet gotten to the part, where humans start mastering LLMs as tools. That’s still quite nascent.

Once that happens, a lot of people that have been firing all their employees, and getting fat on the profits, are going be finding themselves on fire.

Nonsense. Just hire people to automate away 100% of tasks at your company. Later, lay them off and reduce your costs to a $100/month LLM subscription.

Your prompts will be your moat and your margins will go to infinity. It will be glorious and sustainable for years to come.
