Changes in competitive conditions due to tools

from Diary 2025-03-26 Change in competitive conditions due to tools

Capability enhancement X provided by a tool T, and capability Y independent of it. If the two are constrained by a common resource (e.g., drop time), a trade-off relationship occurs However, if in that situation another resource, for example, a tool that can be bought with money, enhances capability X, the competitive conditions change. People who gave up X to get Y get angry at those who got X without giving up. Whoever was getting X at the expense of Y.

• Disgusted by people who get X without sacrificing Y?
  • There's a case for that.
    • A career woman who has given up on having a family and chosen a career snubs a junior woman who wants to balance family and work.
  • Whether there is a limit to X
    • Those who are aiming higher, regardless of others, will say, "I can make more X's with this tool T!" and they'll be happy about it.
    • Cartoonists who are happy to use generative AI, etc.

I saw the jealousy towards those who write and release code in AI even though they don't have great programming skills, and I was thinking what that is.

• Trade-off frontiers
