Guest essay on the blog by @sebkrier on what advanced AI will mean for jobs. Séb is AGI policy dev lead at DeepMind, and is a must-follow for his posts on how AI will impact society. In the essay, Séb argues that full labor displacement--or full substitution--requires a bunch of extreme assumptions to hold true simultaneously. Human labor share will remain a substantial part of the economy a lot longer than the AGI-maximalist timelines suggest because 1) complementarities will persist for quite a while and 2) economic value is not determined solely by efficiency--human involvement is often an integral part of a service/product's value. While full substitution may occur at some point down the line, it should not be the "default assumption" or starting point, as the underlying assumptions are extremely fragile. Rather, it may happen gradually and continuously, with "cyborgism" lasting quite a long time. It's an excellent essay, and you can read it in full here: aleximas.substack.com/p/the-cyborg-e… And if you like this type of content, do consider subscribing to the blog: aleximas.substack.com
