Famed AI researcher launches controversial startup to replace all human workers everywhere

From time to time, the Silicon Valley running is launched with this “ridiculous” task that is difficult to distinguish if the start starting is real or just spelling.

This is the case with a mechanic, an emerging company with a founder-and the non-profit artificial intelligence research organization called EPOCH-is moved on X after it was announced.

Complaints include the startup task, and the implications that they are the reputation of its research institute, which is very respectful. (A way out was published at the Research Institute on X, “Yay only what I wanted for Bay: a comments CRISIS.”)

A mechanic was launched on Thursday via a post on X by its founder, famous artificial intelligence researcher Tamay Besiroglu. Besiroglu, the start -up goal, is “complete automation for all business” and “full automation of the economy”.

Does this mean that the mechanic is replacing every human propan worker AI Agent? Basically, yes. You want to start to save data, evaluation and digital environments to make workers’ automation of any possible job.

Besiroglu even calculated the total market of mechanics by collecting all wages that are currently paid. “The market capabilities here are ridiculously large: workers are paid in the United States by about $ 18 trillion annually in the total. For the whole world, the number increases by three times, about 60 trillion dollars annually,” he wrote.

However, Besiroglu explained to Techcrunch that “our immediate focus is actually on the work of white collars” instead of manual work functions that require robots.

The response to the start of operation was often brutal. Anthony Agueri also answered, “great respect for the work of the founders in the times, but it is sad to see this. The automation of most human workers is in fact a giant prize for companies, which is why many companies on the ground are already following them. I think it will be a great loss for most people.”

But the controversial part is not just a startup task. The AI ​​Research Institute in Besiroglu, EPOCH, analyzes the economic influence of Amnesty International and produces standards for artificial intelligence performance. It was believed that it was a neutral way to verify performance claims from Sata Frontier and others.

This is not the first time that the era has been in the controversy. In December, EPOCH revealed that Openai supported the creation of one of the AI ​​standards, which was used by the Chatgpt maker then to reveal the new O3 model. Social media users felt that the era should have been the most precedent about the relationship.

When Besiroglu announced the mechanic, the user X Oliver Habryka answered, “Unfortunately, it seems that this approximate assertion that the research of the times was feeding directly on the work of the border power, although I hope you would not come literally from you.”

Besiroglu says that a mechanic is supported by WhO’s: Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, Patrick Kuluson, Darcshe Patel, Jeff Dean, Schulto Douglas, and Marcus Abramovich. Friedman, Gross, and the TECHRUNCH request did not return to comment.

Marcus Abramovich confirmed that he had invested. Abramovich is an administrative partner in the hedge box in Crypto, and the self -described “effective”.

He told Techcrunch that he invested because “the team is exceptional through many dimensions and is thinking of deeper into artificial intelligence than anyone I know.”

Good for humans, too?

However, Besiroglu argues to those who reject that the presence of clients who do all the work will actually enrich humans, not dispatching them, through “explosive economic growth”. It refers to a paper on this topic.

“The automation of the entire work can generate a wide abundance, much higher living standards, and new goods and services that we cannot even imagine today.”

This may be true for those who possess agents. This is, if employers pay their price instead of developing it at home (supposed, by other agents?).

On the other hand, this optimistic view overlooks a basic fact: if humans do not have functions, they will not have income to buy all the things that artificial intelligence agents produce.

However, Besiroglu says that human wages in such an AI-Outomated world should actually increase because these workers are “more valuable in supplementary roles that artificial intelligence cannot play.”

But remember that the goal is for the agents to do all the work. When asked about this, he explained: “Even in scenarios where wages may decrease, economic well-being is not only determined by wages. People usually receive income from other sources-such as rents, distributions and government luxury.”

So we may all be our livelihood or real estate. In failure, there is always luxury – if artificial intelligence agents pay taxes.

Although Besiroglu’s vision and its task is clearly extreme, the technical issue is looking to solve it is legitimate. If every human worker has a personal staff of agents that helps them produce more work, it may follow the economic abundance. Besiroglu is undoubtedly correct for at least one thing: one year after the age of artificial intelligence agents, they do not work very well.

It indicates that they are unreliable, do not keep information, and fight to complete the tasks independently as he requested, “and long -term plans cannot be implemented without getting out of the bars.”

However, it is barely alone in working on reforms. Giant companies such as Salesforce and Microsoft build the agent platforms. Openai is also. And emerging companies in agents abound: a specialist in tasks (external sales, financial analysis); For those who work on training data. Others are working on the pricing of the agent.

Meanwhile, Besiroglu wants to know: a mechanic is an employment.
