Thinking Will Become a Hobby

Challenges

Thinking Fast and Slow in AI: the Role of Metacognition Metacognition research suggests AI still lacks the self-regulating reasoning humans employ, challenging ec5e138d's claim of across-the-board cognitive superiority
We're Gonna Need a Lot More Mathematicians The argument that we need more mathematicians directly pushes back against ec5e138d's thesis that human cognitive work is being rendered obsolete by AI systems

Supports

The Plunging Price of Thought Both argue that AI cognitive costs are plummeting, making human thought economically uncompetitive — 'plunging price of thought' directly underpins the claim that knowledge work will diminish
Tokens Too Cheap to Meter 'Tokens too cheap to meter' is the economic mechanism driving the displacement of human cognition that ec5e138d predicts — near-zero inference cost makes human knowledge work structurally uneconomical

Supported by

Using Persistent AI Agents to Transform Workflow Persistent AI agents handling cognitive work tasks directly supports the thesis that deliberate human thinking becomes a leisure activity rather than a necessity, as agents absorb routine intellectual work.
Rediscovering the Romance of Travel Clocks Both examine the enduring human value of analog, deliberate experiences in contrast to digital acceleration — travel clocks as tangible timekeeping artifacts parallel the piece's argument that contemplative activities will become cherished hobbies
Kevin Kelly's 2016 AI Predictions, 10 Years Later Kelly's forecast of AI dominance over search directly anticipates the 'thinking will become a hobby' premise—that cognitive tasks shift from human effort to AI-mediated experience
