I agree that people want to be rewarded for their effort, and should be.

But putting in 12 hour days being an EMT and saving peoples lives vs 12 hour days working with Claude to boost conversion pipelines have wildly different economic rewards.

I'm not suggesting a Harrison Bergeron economy but its also clear that the current system is trending towards B and the game is rigged to ensure that.

We don't live in a meritocracy -- there's a fair amount of luck involved (being in the right place at the right time).
