​This is a video about the attention economy through the lens of Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson) and his recent leaked memo. We talk about the addictive nature of social media, algorithm-driven pressures, and the evolving work ethic of Gen Z, including a shift from traditional work norms to a results-focused mindset. We also examine the uncertain future of AI, its potential to surpass human intelligence, and its significant energy demands, with discussions on the ethical implications and societal consequences. Woo hoo!
