Miles Brundage, former OpenAI VP of AGI Insights, retweeted a pointed observation: once recursive self-improvement (RSI) fully kicks off, OpenAI will effectively become an entity that no longer needs its people — implying AI-driven research automation will erode the irreplaceability of individual top talent. A one-liner, but it captures the deepening tension between the AGI race and talent dynamics.
