This is the kind of thing that only out of touch techies could think is insightful. To everyone else it's profoundly stupid. And rightly so.

Knowledge work became more valuable, so physical jobs became lower paying and lower status. Now, does it mean that things will shift so it’s all on equal ground? The barista, plumber, engineer and accountant will make the same, run in similar circles and all be equally rich?

The gym will have - Come up with more original ideas. What's one original idea/thought you had today?

The depressing version of the brain-gym prediction is that we'll get brain gyms and they'll be exactly as representative as physical gyms are: about 20% of the population, skewed by income and conscientiousness, mostly performing the legible lifts for the legible score, and the other 80% will develop the cognitive equivalent of back pain at 45 and call it normal aging.

This is rage-bait for sure. But, it has caught me. If you are letting the AI do all your thinking, and you are not yet a fool, don't worry. You will be soon.

I agree with this take. I've been thinking about this too.

Few things scare me as much as the concept of outsourcing thinking. If you want to be able to form coherent thoughts when you are 70, find a way to read, write, and talk to actual people.

This is actually a great idea. But my brain is so atrophied from AI that I can't even think what a brain gym would look like or what would be inside it, sudoku?

Atrophy is a choice. Machines play chess better than we do, but we still play and reap many benefits from it. Let AI perform tasks, but never stop challenging your mind, or yourself.

Gyms as in a location that exists to train and lift weights in urban settlements are literally thousands of years old
