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

My modest proposal for how to acknowledge AI work is to use the Latin phase “”Fieri Iussit,”” which means “”commanded to be made,”” a common phrase on Roman Empire buildings.
