- AI automation increases human work by commoditizing expertise and creating demand for unique human input.
- Two modes of AI collaboration exist: delegated agents and collaborative tools, both requiring human oversight.
- AI's ability to make previous skills cheap leads to abundance and sameness, raising demand for expert differentiation.
- Benchmark progress is measured within frames, and when saturated, new frames emerge, perpetuating the need for humans.
- Even with AGI, humans remain essential as framers, setting goals and providing context that AI lacks.
