When AI makes hard work optional, the people who still choose it will stand out. Rare knowledge becomes the new alpha because if everyone uses the same model, what you uniquely know is all that matters. ~ Tiago Forte

@fortelabs Yep “It will test people's determination though, when it's tempting to go to an LLM for an answer than try and think about it yourself. This said, 'determination' itself is one of those evergreen alpha-generating skills.”

@fortelabs Hard work won't disappear, it'll just shift. The question isn't if we should work hard, but where we direct our effort for maximum impact. What's your focus?

On laughter generating common knowledge: "Laughter is--like eye contact, like direct speech--generates common knowledge. When you're laughing, you know it, because your breathing is interrupted. People around you know it, because they can hear the laughter. It interrupts your speech, and so people who are listening to you know that you're laughing, and you know that you're laughing. So it's generally common knowledge of something. What is that common knowledge? It's generally common knowledge of some infirmity, indignity, embarrassment, cause for humility. And the laughter makes that private knowledge of an infirmity common knowledge. There's something that we all knew compromised that person's dignity, stature. Now, we are all acknowledging it commonly, which means that that person's stature has gone down."

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And the thing about common knowledge in the social realm is that it's what props up our social relationships. And so when something is blurted out, then it can change everything. It changes the nature of your relationship with someone. Maher: And we do have sort of a modern version of the Emperor parable, which is Joe Biden. I mean, he was the Emperor who everyone wouldn't say had lost his marbles. I mean, is that not really the same story? Me: It is the same story, because opinion polls showed that after that disastrous debate with Trump, the number of people who thought that he was cognitively impaired didn't go up by that much. It went up by a few percentage points. But before, a majority of people thought that he was cognitively impaired. The difference is, when it's on TV, where you're watching it, you know that the rest of the country is watching it, you know the rest of the country knows the rest of the country, it's no longer private. It's common. And that's when he was challenged. That was the end. Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher

🦦 there is something i really wanted to say to onedoor when i went on live. whatever it is you are doing right now, and whatever effort you are putting into it, even if it doesn't show right away and people don't acknowledge it, i really hope you don't let it get to you too much. as long as you know, that's what matters. you know your own worth. and eventually, as all that hard work builds up over time, everyone else will start to notice it too. 🦦 i know this might sound hard to believe, but look at my dancing. my style isn't the type that instantly grabs attention, you know? since i have a smaller frame compared to the other members, i don't naturally pop or stand out right away. but if you keep watching.. somehow, i'm the only one you see. you know what i mean? 🦦 in the end, the day will absolutely come when people recognize your hard work. your dedication will be the only thing that shines through, and all those quiet moments you have built up until now will finally show. 🦦 and if you ever struggle to see your own hard work, I WILL recognize it for you. RIWOO WILL KNOW. 🦦 think about it like this, if no one is coming over to your house and no one is stepping foot inside your room, who do you clean your room for? you do it for yourself, right? because you notice it, and you appreciate it. so, do your work for yourself, and do everything for your own sake!

Elon Musk just said work will be optional in 10 years! Think about it like growing vegetables. Nobody needs to grow their own tomatoes but people still do it because they enjoy it. Work becomes something you choose, not something you're forced into.

Elon Musk: In less than 10 years, work won’t be something you have to do… it’ll be something you choose to do. He says the future of AI and robotics is heading toward a world where working becomes optional — just like growing your own vegetables. You can do it, but you don’t have to. Some people will still work because they enjoy it, not because they need to survive. That flips everything we know about jobs, money, and purpose. Imagine waking up and deciding to work purely because you want to, not because you’re forced to. That’s the kind of shift he’s talking about. And it doesn’t stop there — Musk believes Tesla’s Optimus robots could eventually perform highly skilled tasks like surgery, delivering medical care that’s better than what the best humans can provide today. A future where everyone, anywhere in the world, gets access to elite-level healthcare. Optional work. Superhuman doctors. AI running the backbone of society.

I'll be giving talks on common knowledge in Australia and New Zealand in February 2026. Tickets : "I begin the book with the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes because it’s the quintessential illustration of common knowledge. When the boy said the Emperor was naked, he wasn’t telling anyone anything they didn’t already know. They could see the Emperor was naked, but he changed the state of their knowledge nonetheless because, by blurting it out within earshot of everyone, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that the Emperor was naked. So it shows, first of all, that even though the concept of common knowledge, as I defined it, seems impossible—your head starts to spin after, you know, one or two “I know that she knows,” let alone an infinite number. But what the story shows is that a conspicuous, public, self-evident event—something that you see while you see everyone else seeing it, or you hear when you know everyone else can hear it—can give you common knowledge at a stroke. And the other moral is that it changed the relationship of the people to the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And a major theme of the book is that common knowledge, even though it sounds like this abstruse, recondite academic concept, actually figures into everyday life, figures into our money, and figures into our politics, because it enables coordination and it changes social relationships."

Elon Musk just said the quiet part out loud about where AI actually ends up. Musk: “The honest answer for AI and robotics is long term working will be optional.” Long term meaning ten years from now or less. For centuries, human survival has required human labor. That is the oldest equation in civilization. You work or you don’t eat. You work or you lose the shelter. You work or you fall behind everyone who does. Musk is describing the end of that equation entirely. Musk: “If you wanna work you can. Kind of like if you grow vegetables, you can grow vegetables in your garden or you can get them from the store.” The analogy is quieter than the claim deserves. Growing your own vegetables is something people do for joy. For ritual. For the satisfaction of making something with their hands. Not because they would starve otherwise. That is what work becomes. Musk: “It’s extra work to grow your own vegetables but people enjoy the process. That’s gonna be how work is in the future.” When AI and robotics scale to their limit, the cost of physical goods and services collapses toward zero. Labor stops being the mechanism that separates people who survive from people who don’t. What happens to human motivation when survival is no longer the reason to get up? That is the question nobody building this technology has answered. The abundance is coming. The crisis of meaning is coming with it. Musk is describing the greatest liberation in human history. He is also describing the greatest identity crisis our species has ever faced. Both arrive on the same timeline. Ten years or less.
