“I don’t think people take seriously enough the idea that it’s not just like having more humans or something because of the nature of AI. They have advantages. Especially that have nothing to do with their IQ but their ability to coordinate with each other. And specifically the fact that you can scale them. You can copy them- I mean copying is the biggest one. You can merge them. You can distill them. You can select and evolve over groups of teams. — Dwarkesh Patel (00:08)
“Right now 60% of GDP is spent on labor, you know, on wages… and it’s going to potentially go to closer to zero… the relative fraction which is paid to humans will continue to decrease… the relative importance of humans in the economy will continue to decrease in terms of most of the output… and then I’m like honestly I don’t know what that will mean.” — Dwarkesh Patel (41:00)
