Which LLMs do these agents use?

Don't believe everything people say. Watch what they do.

By the way, are you not worried about NDAs and such?

I tried to use Azure once (more than 5 years ago), and the signing up kept crashing on me for hours. Never used it again since then. Some things are obvious.

The most powerful creative tool I've ever been given is my body, including my brain. Yeah, AI is cool, too.

What about the people who didn't work for the one company that became the only company?

You still don't make sense, mate.

Yes, a better system would be great. Half-baked ideas only stand in its way.

Isn't that just life?

But in general, the ideas of the post are sound. IMO, the consequence is simple: we will become the forest. That is frightening, but not necessarily worse than unchecked capitalism in the dark forest.

Some people think that flow is a negative. You do what you feel like doing, not what you should be doing.

Obviously, they are both very good reasons. Just because you don't like one of them, doesn't mean the other one doesn't suddenly exist anymore.

Yes, I like my cleaner example. It will be a lot of zeros. Yes, let's end this discussion, I think your views are quite naive and not well thought out.

See my other comment. As long as the cleaner cannot fire the CEO, but only the other way around, ownership doesn't mean anything. If you own 0.00001 percent of a company, that gives you about as much power as your vote in a democracy. Probably less so.

> Negotiations, just like salary today, except all sides negotiate with the same leverage.

As the cleaner you don't have the same leverage as the CEO. There would be no change in leverage at all. That's what you don't seem to understand.

As the cleaner, the only leverage would be that you don't need a job. And if you have that kind of leverage, why would you clean at all?

I am all ears for a new system that could actually work, but I don't think it will come from you. You don't seem to be willing to actually think through things.

No, the mechanism is clear. What I don't understand is your use of the word fallacy. It is not a fallacy, it is the reality. Being an employee is not an ideal. It is the lived reality for most people.

So what are you going on about?

Who decides who gets hired and fired at that company? How is the coefficient determined? Are we talking about amount of work, or how much your work has contributed to the bottom line of the company?

I don't see that changing anything. As long as there is private property, and you can sell your work for compensation, the rest pretty much follows.

I don't know how co-op businesses work. I think co-ops are hiring cheap third-party cleaners as well. Co-ops also have CEOs making a lot more than the rest of the "cooperative".

> So I don't see why anyone should retain sole ownership of all profits from a business that they require others to do the work in.

Because they are offering, and there are takers? Nobody is forced to work for your business.
