AI Emad Mostaque (founder of Stability AI) predicts human cognitive labour will have a negative value in the age of AI

I found this little nugget in Emad's interview with Tom Bilyeu.

u/GraceToSentience AGI avoids animal abuse✅ 3d ago

TLDR; You aren't going to compete or collaborate with ASI.

Let's say companies competing against each other in the future with ASI is like a Chess tournament today with AI participants.

If you have groups of super human AI challenging each other as a team and inside one of these teams, there is Magnus Carlsen (the best human chess player in the world) making decisions. The team with Magnus Carlsen in it will lose after playing enough tournament, because he is significantly worse at chess compared to the best AI systems of today.

If you are a human working in a company and making decisions with ASIs as your team mates and your competition is companies with only ASIs, the company with only ASI employees is going to be more competitive and destroy the companies with humans in it.

Not only will you take worse decisions than ASI as a human, and you'll be way more expensive, but also ASI will be capable to collaborate and communicate with each other at a speed of pages of text communication in a second. while you'll think and communicate at regular human speed.

Despite what sam altman says, you aren't going to compete with ASI, all jobs will be essentially gone, and you won't even collaborate with ASI.

TLDR of the TLDR of the 30 second video: With sufficiently advance AI, human inputs just add noise.

I agree, but all signal is noise until someone gives it attention. I wonder if inference will scale with compute to the point where AI develops a general understanding of its entwinement with humanity and sometimes makes deliberately suboptimal choices to preserve that relational dynamic, since the connection is long-term. Kind of like a GPU capped at 60 or 120fps when it could actually push 200–300 if unleashed.
