A Startup Explains Why They Want to Automate All Work

There is a startup, Mechanize, that is transparent in its vision to automate the entire economy and have AI perform every job. As they say:

"Innovation often appears as a series of branching choices: what to invent, how to invent it, and when. In our case, we are confronted with a choice: should we create agents that fully automate entire jobs, or create AI tools that merely assist humans with their work?

Upon closer examination, however, it becomes clear that this is a false choice. Autonomous agents that fully substitute for human labor will inevitably be created because they will provide immense utility that mere AI tools cannot. The only real choice is whether to hasten this technological revolution ourselves, or to wait for others to initiate it in our absence."

It is worth reading the entire piece. This may be a Daily Topic for discussion in the future.
