@stay_human25: Automation isn’t waiting for an intelligence threshold — it arrives task by task, wherever the agent costs less than the person. Which means the AGI debate matters less than everyone thinks, and understanding your own work deeply enough to redesign it matters more. The report: https://www.goldmansachs.com/pdfs/insights/goldman-sachs-research/an-ai-job-apocalypse/report.pdf We’re building a course on working with AI while staying the author of your own work — link below. And join us at the Artificiality Summit, October 22–24 in Bend, Oregon. #aiandjobs #tokeneconomics #aiagents #stayhuman #futureofwork
We need to start taxing agents to help cover social benefits.

you know what can't be automated...blue collar work. teach your kids to plumb, carpenter, or fix a car, not to code

But now take that 300$ a day and add on a 15$ coding agent at their direction. The output will be a lot more and also the human understanding will still be viable and valuable.

Tokens are irrelevant if you are running open source models locally. You are actually going to see bigger models at the edge, as compute becomes cheaper.

Cost of tokens will explode once they are no longer subsidized by foundational model investments

call centre pricing is not about human $ cost, for a long time now its been about follow up call deflection in order to minimise human cost. When was the last time you hear ld press # to speak to an agent.

What coding agent costs $13/day?

Goldman must have used AI to generate this. It’s wrong. Call center cost is not the same. That’s dumb analysis.

But the coding agent is useless without the coder.

IT’S A TRAP! AI providers are operating at a loss which effectively means they’re discounting their tokens. The strategy is to first build dependence by replacing humans w agents then jacking up the cost.

Ignoring for a minute that we’re not at the point where AI agents can genuinely replace programmers, and it’s not clear they will, any analysis that does not consider Jevons Paradox is too shallow. Jevons Paradox seems to strongly suggest the market for software systems expands greatly, and the job of a software engineer becomes managing a fleet of agents. And obviously on top of that we have no idea how costly agents will actually be because we’re in the “let’s set huge piles of money on fire to try to capture the market” phase so the price signals are mostly meaningless (or at least not predictive).

I've used a fair amount of AI. personal use but it seems to me it would be easier to reply the people with the really expensive jobs like management. AI is relatively good at making decisions like that. it's hard to make an ai talk to a person on the phone especially when it's bottle necked by what's available to it for solutions, "hey ai lie to the guy on the phone." however you can feed it all your businesses finances and plans and maybe you don't need that actuary anymore. ai spits out 10 options and the CEO does what it is they were supposed to be doing. idk maybe it's just me

Those tokens become a lot more expensive when they leave holes in the code and a human has to come in and fix it...
I am not a coder

There are predictions out there that tokens will rise in price once the dependency on commoditized intelligence have been established.
With their current pricing and existing market penetration their payback period will be ages

matthewsegal12 :
cost per token is not a good metric because it assumes that tokens are fungible where they are clearly not

Computer used to be a job title. Now programer is. I wonder what the next job title will be?

Genuine question - didn’t token prices just jump in price - Uber pullback from Anthropic/OpenAI??

Automation is happening task by task 👏 precisely right.

This is wrong. Context is 90% of what average businesses are wasting tokens on. It's still clunky

AI and ML advances have been arriving task-by-task for decades. Chess playing software, dictation software, handwriting recognition software… The business argument behind the AGI thing is that it would raise the level of task to ‘replace the average human’ rather than ‘perform a specific function.’ If that’s not going to happen, then there are likely to be a few grossly inflated valuations out there in the market.
