> Instead of waiting for FAA (fully-autonomous agents) we should understand that this is a continuum, and we’re consistently increasing the amount of useful work AIs can do without human intervention. Even if we never push this number to infinity, each increase represents a meaningful improvement in the amount of economic value that language models provide. It might not be AGI, but I’m happy with that.
That's all good, but the question remains: to whom will that economic value be delivered when the primary technology we have for distributing economic value - human employment - will be in lower supply once the "good enough" AIs multiply the productivity of the humans with the jobs.
If there is no plan for that, we have bigger problems ahead.
This is a really important question that still has no answer. No one wins in the late stage of capitalism
