Clear statement of a common view among AI researchers:. 1. There is a capability gap -- models pass all human exams but can't do real-world tasks. 2. The capability gap is closing fast -- the RL-on-LLM approach can deal with messy tasks (interactive, high-context, long horizon).
I finally wrote another blogpost: AI just keeps getting better over time, but NOW is a special moment that i call “the halftime”. Before it, training > eval. After it, eval > training. The reason: RL finally works. Lmk ur feedback so I’ll polish it.

The closest thing I'm aware of is @davidautor 's "Applying Ai to Rebuild Middle Class Jobs" -- though I don't think there's an explicit model in there, & as I recall he doesn't talk about some of the points above.

I think the effects of AI on the offense-defense balance across many domains is really important topic & I'm surprised there aren't more people working on it, it seems a perfect fit for econ theorists.
