The real bloodbath will come when coordination between multiple AIs, in a company sense, starts working. Computers have much better I/O than humans. Once a corporate organization can be automated, it will be too fast for humans to participate. There will be no place for slow people.

This doesn't even make sense. What corporations do you think will exist in this world?

You're not going to sell me your SaaS when I can rent AIs to make faster cheaper IP that I actually own to my exact specifications.

This is always the indicator I look for whether or not someone actually knows what they’re talking about.

If you can’t extrapolate on your own thesis you can’t be knowledgeable in the field.

Good example was a guy on here who was convinced every company would be ran by one person because of AI. You’d wake up in the morning and decide which products your AI came up with while you slept would be profitable. The obvious next question is “then why are you even involved?”

I agree, I was actually leaving the question open-ended because I can't necessarily scale it all the way up, it's too complex. Why would they even rent me AIs when they can just be every company? Who is "they"?

All that needs to be understood is that the narcissistic grandeur delusion that you will singularly be positioned to benefit from sweeping restructuring of how we understand labor must be forcibly divested from some people's brains.

Only a very select few are positioned to benefit from this and even their benefit is only just mostly guaranteed rather than perfectly guaranteed.

Robot run iron mine that sells iron ore to a robot run steel mill that sells steel plate to a robot run heavy truck manufacturer that sells heavy trucks to robot run iron mines, etc etc.

The material handling of heavy industry is already heavily automated, almost by definition. You just need to take out the last few people.

Except that robotics technology is completely different from LLMs? Comments of this flavor are such a tell that the commenter has absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.
