A "rough sketch of the near future" that seems to me a lot more plausible than a lot of what I've read in tech media. "Even if it goes as well as possible, make no mistake: AI agents will involve human beings taking their hands off the wheel of the economy to at least some extent. Most of the thinking and doing... will soon be done by machines, not people." Ball adds, "Epoch's Ege Erdil and Matthew Barnett published a piece with a somewhat similar thesis." Also worth reading.
