This made me very bullish on the "diffusion" of AGI. {Sources (as shown with superscript ⁰¹ ⁰² ⁰³) and further explanations - are provided in the thread below} If the fundamental pillar for AGI is architecture and algorithms, then a frontier Chinese lab (such as DeepSeek,

@EpochAIResearch @MatthewJBar Q(t) is Quality - which corresponds to the fraction of economically useful tasks these workers can perform. If digital workers are deployed at all, I do not think frontier labs will make them generally available with a comprehensive set of capabilities. Even if there are 100k

@EpochAIResearch Again, @MatthewJBar says, in his article - Even under quite pessimistic assumptions (where the elasticity of substitution is 0.5), U.S. GDP could still double if remote labor (just 34% of total labour) is made 10x and became automated. If such an economic expansion occurs over

@EpochAIResearch did a back-of-the-envelope estimate that OpenAI can run approximately 7 million digital workers, which are digital instances of GPT-5. https://t.co/4nfNRpoJPy Since both OpenAI's compute "capabilities" and the compute "requirements" to run a digital worker at

How many "digital workers" could OpenAI deploy? We did a back-of-the-envelope estimate: restricting to tasks GPT-5 can do, OpenAI has the compute to run ~7 million digital workers. As AI automates more tasks, such a digital workforce could have big implications. 🧵

I completely agree. However, three different and related aspects should be noted here: 1. Task Heterogeneity - Not all "tasks" are the same. If "AI automates half of the tasks" in an industry, those tasks are most likely the "easiest to automate." 2. Cost - GPT-5 Pro costs

This is a very good non-technical post from Prof. Barak, CS at Harvard and MTS at OpenAI. However, the growth from automation is much more nuanced than what is detailed in Barak's post. Here, @MatthewJBar explains⁰¹ the nuances: A brief primer on the elasticity of

This is probably one of the most impactful wisdom bits you'll need to understand about the future trajectories of Frontier Intelligence development. This is a weak mode of the Recursive Self-Improvement loop. But to achieve this, you need to have solid capabilities starting

Even @windsurf's SWE-1.5 is priced similar to 2.5 Pro & GPT-5 (medium reasoning) and 2X the price of Kimi-K2 and Qwen 480B Coder. I'm glad that these labs are on the way to become (or already) profitable. One cannot sustain loss making businesses for long term and I don't want

Assuming it's a fine-tune of Qwen 3 480B Coder or a new model as large as Qwen 3 480B Coder, these output prices are 5Xed! A 500% increase in output pricing will give them insane margins! Who is saying start-ups and frontier labs are burning VC money and serving models at a

Can AI automate jobs? We created the Remote Labor Index to test AI’s ability to automate hundreds of long, real-world, economically valuable projects from remote work platforms. While AIs are smart, they are not yet that useful: the current automation rate is less than 3%.

TSMC is not the threat to free markets -- because its primary purpose is to serve as Taiwan's "silicon shield," rather than attempting to consume every layer before and after it in the stack. To date, it has not even hinted at moving either forward or backward in the value chain.

Even in the most optimistic scenario, by the 2030 financial year end (i.e., by Dec 31st, 2030, which is over 5 years from now), let's assume OpenAI makes $1 trillion in revenue and $400 billion in net profits after depreciation and taxes. In this case, the Non-Profit-OpenAI would
