One thing I’ve found surprising about having more resources is the huge gap between the upper middle class and the truely rich.

One area this comes up all the time is that when I try and get some help from a personal assistant, I often can’t. Companies say they NEED to talk to ME to do things. It’s bullshit, they don’t need to they just want to. I find it a little baffling honestly. I can’t imagine Bill Gates is personally chatting with a sales person on the phone to setup new cable TV service or whatever.

Soon everyone will have a personal assistant via AI, and I’m already seeing the BS creep in. Certain pages are blocking Claude from accessing them, not for scraping but for accomplishing tasks. It’s their right, but also I think these assistance are quickly going to just sign up for a different service when they encounter these issues without ever getting me involved. Defeating the purpose completely of putting up these counter measures, and losing business toboot.
