I've banked professional success on my superior "Google Searching" ability (compared to my peers) for 20 years. A little but of thinking goes a long way, even when using tools designed to replace thought.
Someone who keeps up on AI and finds productivity gains will outcompete someone who doesn't, even for activities that aren't develoing new AI weren't AI-based before.
What is an "AI startup"? If you add a chatbot do your product, are you an "AI startup"? Does "startup" require having no moat? Can you be an established stable business that loses everything to a startup that leapfrogs your tech, AltaVista?
Could your whole village walk to a library in 5 minutes?
Regardless of population density, villages/towns/settlements/cities tend to span a mile or more, not one acre with 1-1000 people surrounded by non-residential space.
How many books were in that library that served 500 people?
There's 3 smaller daughter-libraries in nearby villages. I'd say 20 minutes walk to the nearest library for everybody in the whole gmina is realistic. Less if you include school libraries (but they suck).
I had no idea how many books, checked right now and apparently it's 32 000. It's not really serving 500 people, it's got 1100 regular readers. Which means people are going there from other villages.
It also has all the multimedia stuff, audiobooks, internet access, printers, etc.
