To put that in perspective my house uses an average of 1300kWh per month. Adding 30kWh per month would be an increase of 2.3% at a cost of around $4.20, not enough to notice.

Yeah but performance / watt will decrease - Quadratically with improved chip scaling - orders of magnitude with improved model efficiency

At some point the agents will be good enough that you can tell them "here's $100, go make me money" and they will, maybe not a lot and not all the time, but the EV given the cost of inference will be positive.

If I’m the AI company why would I let you do that, when I could just do it myself and get all of the money?

Regulation. If it got proven to the point that it was scaled out en mass, it would get hit hard and fast.

???

Then why would any AI company exist when they could just use their money to buy tokens from another AI company and make money for zero effort? There would be no incentive to be a provider.

Not to mention inflation would grow to match or outpace the rate you could earn on these guaranteed AI gains.

If that does become possible then the market will naturally establish efficiency again and the opportunity will disappear.

If the market would be fully efficient how would it be possible to make money in the market? I font think the market is that fast at rebalancing.

This seems somewhat obviously true, to some degree, but it all depends on the prompt, I think?

In the equilibrium, profits fall to zero in capitalism, but there's never equilibrium, everything is changing. Profit comes from insights that others haven't seen, from access to opportunities that others don't have, or through monopolistic control generating economic rents.

For that AI to make money, it has to have a harness that gives it one of the above things, which does seem possible.

it'll basically be scam vs scam if that's every what happens.

Those rewards seem like they would be captured by the providers and AI companies though who would use them first to make themselves money. You would be left with whatever they didn’t pursue with their first movers advantage.

Good enough at what, fraud? Robotic Ponzi schemes would be an easy way to generate "income".

More likely they bot will do research on how to make make money and do experiments given the resources available to it.

I guess the question boils down to, what remote work could a human do to earn money over the internet?

So how many companies/individuals pay a random spam bot contacting them 100€ to upgrade their website? I guess start with targeting gullible and trying to scam them will be the more successful experiment for them. (If run unrestricted)
