It's always worth thinking about.

Summary

作者借一篇帖子探讨超级智能AI带来的经济悖论:自动化在创造价值的同时可能削弱支撑其自身的经济生态、加剧价值集中并降低大众购买力,呼吁在自动化、人类劳动与利益分配之间寻找平衡,并推荐了2024年诺贝尔经济学奖得主Daron Acemoglu关于技术、就业与不平等的研究。

This isn’t a new topic, but I came across this post and I think it highlights an interesting paradox about AI (Superintelligence). By automating more and more jobs, it could also weaken the very economic ecosystems that sustain it, concentrate the value it creates, and reduce the purchasing power of a significant portion of the population. The goal isn’t to slow down progress or treat AI as a universal solution, but to find a balance between automation, human work, and the distribution of its benefits. Technological progress alone does not guarantee shared social progress. How the gains are distributed and how human work is valued will be crucial. What really scares me is that I can’t seem to find answers to any of this. For those interested, the work of Daron Acemoglu, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024, on the effects of automation and technology on employment and inequality, is more relevant than ever. https://economics.mit.edu/people/faculty/daron-acemoglu/publications
