Don't Go Quietly: Two Visions for the Future of AI

Who manages the agents?

I argue against a future where a technical clergy controls AI as a deity, leaving most people as passive recipients. Instead, we need a path where billions of humans actively direct their own agents. While frontier models solve impossible problems, the median worker gains little, creating a dangerous two-tier system. We must build a future where intelligence is integrated for everyone, not just a privileged few.

"Making a smaller and smaller group of people more and more productive is not the best way to move the average. The way to move the average is to make the median person 2x."
