Jack Clark shared what he called the single most useful take from The Curve: "we can still heist the Mona Lisa after the singularity" — the subtle point being that certain n-of-1 goods whose originals carry unique value will retain or even grow in worth even as everything else changes.
tszzl quipped in response: the year is 20xx, and 99% of GDP is OpenAI and Anthropic heisting the Mona Lisa from one another — a one-line riff on frontier AI competition that keeps the scarcity-value conversation going.
