My idle curiosity addiction is going to be hit hard if AI prices go up. 

Theory: Smaller predators have higher success rate but get fewer of their calories needed per kill. 

True of human predator work too. If your work involves a “success rate” that’s in the 10-70% range you’re a predator. If it’s higher it should probably be done by a robot.

"Success rate" for human work sounds like a good proxy for "control over variables that affect outcome"

Career progression: being able to achieve outcomes where you have little control over variables

Wolves hardly find success in hunting?
That’s kind of weird

Interesting theory! But i still wonder if AI could eventually handle most high-success rate tasks, leaving humans to focus more on creative or strategic 'predator' work.
