☢️ The Content Cold War Begins: Amazon Strikes First To Limit Ai E-Books Arms Race
"There Are Two Kinds of Truths: Truths of Reasoning And Truths of Fact" [Gottfried Leibniz]
Can a simple framework change your life?
Doubtful. But it can change the way you think. Which can change the way you act.
Here's a simple way to understand where value could accrue in the current Ai landscape: The Curation Smiling Curve [inspired by Stratechery]
In the News: Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three books a day after AI concerns
Amazon has created a new rule limiting the number of books that authors can self-publish on its site to three a day, after an influx of suspected AI-generated material was listed for sale in recent months.
The three-book limit announcement comes a week after Amazon introduced the requirement for authors to inform the company when their content is AI-generated and added a new section to their guidelines featuring definitions of “AI-generated” and “AI-assisted” content.

So What?: A Value Framework
The Smiling Curve devised by Ben Thompson is a framework for understanding where monetizaton value could accrue in Phase 1 of the Ai revolution
As Content becomes easier to produce, its value per unit decreases.
As the value decreases per unit, the noise level of finding good content increases. [Think of finding a movie of Netflix as an analogy!]
As the noise level increases, the value of ‘taste’ curators and librarians increases
Therefore in the Ai content nuclear explosion, value will accrue to the curators who reduce selection noise.
Takeaway:
Curators will eclipse the average value of creators when the Ai content explosion enters full swing
