And yet this is actually the most interesting point to discuss. What happens if, as OpenAI seems to believe, million of AI agents will fill up the job market globally? What kind of disruption will inevitably happen to the dynamics of capitalistic society if you add a virtually free, or at least "ethically cheaper" workforce to the people that are only trained enough to do these kind of jobs? There is no serious talks of UBI that are anhwhere near reaching feasibility, especially in a country like the US where anything like this would immediately be flagged as socialism or communism.
The only thing that seems realistic in the meantime is a quantum leap of inequalities, with AI being the perfect catalyst for the 0.1% to get to a never-before-seen global elite status, with everyone else from middle class down crushed and struggling to buy even groceries.
This is a direct consequence on the economy and could unfold very quickly. Every solution to the problem, on the other hand, could only works as a long-term set of policies that will constantly clash against ideological positions and collective action issues.
The only optimistic glimpse of hope I still have is that Sam Altman is fundamentally a salesman, and most of the claims we're hearing are just meant to pump and pump before an inevitable, massive dump.
In other words, give a global crisis ignited by the AI bubble pop, rather then whatever else could come if AI actually succeeded to the level its main proponents would like it to.
