Excerpt from a YouTube discussion analyzing Eric’s “Canaries in the Coal Mine” piece. Speakers describe a J‑curve model where new technology (AI) initially depresses measured productivity before organizations adapt to capture gains, drawing parallels to computers in the 1980s–90s and predicting AI will similarly transform the labor market over time.
Eric, who's the author.
Of Canaries in the Coal Mine piece.
He used a J curve graph to describe his productivity.
Paradox back in the 90s and how.
AI will.
Truly transform the labor market over time.
The graph.
Shows how an introduction of new tech initially causes a decline in.
Productivity before.
Organizations.
Adapt to be able to capture the productivity benefit.
This is very reminiscent of computers in the 80s and 90s, and his prediction.
Is that AI will.
Likely take a similar case.
So what does.
This mean for investors and founders building today? I know that you think the time horizon's a little bit longer for value add, but it.
