"Summary": "I am seeing more and more predictions about massive GDP growth just around the corner. I think that growth is more likely in the 2030s, though it could start sooner. But here is the key issue: right now, the U.S. economy is being carried almost entirely by compute — investment in energy, chips, data centers, robotics, and AI. That sector is growing rapidly enough to offset sluggish or even negative growth across much of the rest of the economy. The problem is that the vast majority of the economy is still legacy. About 90% of people live and work there. This creates a truly K-shaped economy: the top is doing exceptionally well while everyone else struggles. So yes, we may see massive GDP growth, but it will accrue to a relatively small group. How do we fix that? Every individual can begin participating in the compute economy starting right now. The tools exist. New distribution and growth models are being built. It is early and still primitive, but anyone can start experimenting today to find their place in a future that will be defined by compute. If people do not, many will get left behind, and that will produce severe imbalances in wealth and income. We cannot allow that, or a dystopian future becomes very real. ",
