Every time and after, the Silicon Valley startup introduces with such a “inappropriately” mission that the startup is difficult to determine if the startup is true or simply sarcastic.
The case with it MechanizationA startup whose founder-and the non-profit AI research agency is known as Epocch-he is being scovered on X after announcing it.
The complaints include both startup missions and that means that it gains the reputation of its respected research institute. (Even the Director at the Institute of Research Post At X, “Yes I wanted for my birthday: a Koms crisis.”)
The mechanization was introduced through it on Thursday X posts By its founder, renowned AI researcher is copper Besiroglu. The goal of the startup, Besiroglu writes, “Complete automation of all work” and “Complete Automation of the Economy”.
Does this mean that the mechanism is working to replace every human worker with AI agent bot? Basically, yes. The startup wants to provide data, evaluation and digital environment to create a potential employee of a job.
Besiroglu has even calculated the total addressable market for the mechanism by combining all the wages that are currently paid to people. “The possibility of the market here is unnecessarily greater: workers in the United States are given about 18 trillion dollars every year. For the whole world, the number is about three times more per year, about $ 60 trillion,” he wrote.
Besiroglu, however, made it clear to TechCrunch that “our instant focus is not really needed robotics rather than manual labor jobs towards white-collar work.”
The startup response was often cruel. As the user of X Anthony He replied, “A huge respect for the founders of the ages, but it is sad to see.
However, the controversial part is not just the mission of this startup. Besiroglu AI Research Institute analyzes the economic impact of the age, AI, and produces criteria for AI performance. This was considered a neutral way to test the STA Frontier Model Manufacturers and Others’ performance claims.
This is not the first time The era has been controversialThe In December, Epok revealed that Open supported the creation of an AI benchmark, which the Chatzipt-maker then unveiled its new and 3 models. Social media users felt that the relationship should have been more up-front of the era.
When Besiroglu declared mechaniz, X user Oliver Habrica replied“Alas, it seems like an estimated confirmation that the research of the era was directly fed to the border capacity, though I was hoping that it would not literally come from you.”
Besiroglu says that Mecanize is supported by a Hu Hu: Nat Fredman and Daniel Gross, Patrick Collison, Dwarkesh Patel, Jeff Dean, Sholto Douglas and Marcus Abramovich. Fredman, Gross and Dean did not return the TechCrunch request for comments.
Marcus Abramovich confirmed that he had invested. Abramovich Crypto Hedge Fund is a managing partner of Altx and Self-covered “Effective alienation.”
He said he had invested TechCrunch, “The team is exceptional all over the dimension and has thought more deeper into AI than anyone I know.”
Good for people too?
Nevertheless, Besiroglu has argued to the heroes that doing all agents’ work will not actually poverts them through “explosive economic growth”. He is a hint He is the paper published In the subject.
He told TechCrunch, “Automatically the huge abundance of labor, a lot of life quality and new products and services that we cannot imagine today,” he told TechCrunch.
It may be true for agents owner. This is if employers pay for them instead of developing in their homes (probably by other agents?).
On the other hand, this optimistic view ignores a preliminary fact: If people do not have a job, they will not earn all the things that AI agents are producing.
Nevertheless, Besiroglu says that in this national Automated world, people’s wages should actually be increased because these national workers are more valuable in the complementary role that AI cannot perform. “
But remember, the goal is to do all the work for agents. Asked about this, he explained, “Even in situations where wages can be reduced, economic well-being is not only determined by wages. People usually receive income from other sources-such as rent, dividend and government welfare.”
So perhaps we all live our lives from stock or real estate. It is failing, always welfare – if AI agents pay taxes.
Although Besiroglu Vision and Mission are clearly extreme, the technical problem he wants to solve is valid. If every human laborer agents have a personal crew that helps them to do more, follow economic abundance. And Besiroglu is undoubtedly at least one subject: one year in the era of AI agents, They don’t work very well.
He noted that they do not hold the information, not to hold the information, do not struggle to complete the tasks as an asking, “and cannot execute long -term plans without rail.”
However, he is rarely alone in working on fixes. The giant companies prefer Salesforce and Microsoft Agent platforms are made. OpenThe And lots of agent startups: from task experts (outbound sales, financial analysis); To those who are working on training data. Others are working Agent Price EconomyThe
In the meantime, Besiroglu wants to know you: Mechanics are hiring.
