Cinematic photograph with high contrast, crisp details, and minimal business props like a fountain pen and coffee cup framing the celebratory data visualization.
Some new theoretical economics papers looking at the implications of AGI. These two papers argue that a true AGI-level AI (equivalent to a human genius), if achieved, would eventually displace most human labor and reduce the economic value of remaining human work to near-zero. https://x.com/emollick/status/1969482313286234419
