OpenAI's Will Depue: all non-artisanal human labor will soon be obsolete
willdepue · x · 2026-11-12
OpenAI's Will Depue claimed in an X reply that "it's totally over for the human race and any & all non-artisanal economic labor" — labor whose value derives from being done by a human. "We will soon all watch from the sidelines. It's Magnus Carlsen vs Stockfish 13 from here on out."
Replier David Zagaynov agreed, calling it a good thing. The exchange reflects the increasingly extreme internal debates in AI circles about the future value of human work.
