The way to square this circle is to look at Median Per-Cap income relative to Median Per-Cap GDP.
Yes, real incomes have risen, but its *vastly* outstripped by GDP growth.
So people (correctly) sense immense new wealth that could cover basic needs that is instead congealing as generational wealth

Though I note Claude does do this "we're making progress" happy talk even when talking to it's own damned self.

It used Deep Learning with fancy feature extraction, which is bread-and-butter AI.
If anything, this is the *opposite* of "AI has no meaning", since it is correctly using the term to refer to something *other* than LLMs (which has been the real bastardization lately).

This was pretty strongly implied by the big Washington Post story in 2019! They tried to destroy each other's reputations with the buyer to gain an advantage, and when the deal closed the cops got a tip on Epstein *for the first time ever*.
For years this has been a pretty plausible hypothesis.
