> run it on skeleton crew with a ton of AI and get ultra rich...
I don't get people who believe this. Why would an AI company provide a service that someone can sell at 10x the price, mostly unchanged? Why wouldn't the AI company sell it directly?
This is what Amazon did for many physical products. It just takes time.
Wholesale vs retail. I think the highest value, biggest markets will have products straight from the AI labs (ie legal review) but there's a lot of "last mile" type stuff that it's probably not as economical for anthropic to care about but maybe for some other company.
Why wouldn't it be economical?
Following the logic their agents should be able to find and make money with niche businesses cheaper than human entrepreneurs.
The relevant comparison isn't "human entrepreneurs", it's whatever else those agents could be doing instead
So they're going to provide service for every product under the sun? I ain't paying for no enterprise product without service.
