- A long-form essay traces the progression from machines automating physical labor, to computers automating information work, to LLMs reshaping knowledge work, arguing that truly autonomous systems will require more than scaling up language models.
- It highlights @skyfallai's work on World Models: autonomous systems that can understand and operate in complex environments over long time horizons, with the ambitious end goal of an "autonomous enterprise."
- The piece goes beyond corporate efficiency to ask what a society shaped by this level of automation might look like, and whether returning time to people could spark a new cultural renaissance, framing it all with the "First Machine Age" lens from Brynjolfsson and McAfee's The Second Machine Age.
