eh, farming still requires humans in the loop, only <1% of the number that it used to

OpenAI/Anthropic have never pitched themselves as a replacement for farmers. They do explicitly say that they're going to cause significant job loss in knowledge work sectors all the time.

Right - I'm saying that you can greatly improve productivity / reduce employment while still having humans in the loop. We've already seen it happen with farming, from 1900 -> present.

Oh thank you, yes that makes way more sense.

Woosh.
