You might think so because labor has a higher share or GDP in more developed countries and is decreasing over time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_share But that is because the rate of economic growth is accelerating and is faster in poor countries due to trade. When a business spends less of its revenue on wages, it invests more in capital and grows faster. That is how recursive self improvement works. So I think you are right that AI will accelerate the trend, but not hugely. There won't be a singularity or intelligence explosion. Intelligence requires knowledge and computing power. Knowledge acquisition from humans is limited to 5 to 10 bits per second. Moore's law can no longer shrink transistors any more. -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T0ea44555ed99e6e4-M0ea43f8b2aa231797a96e023 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
