    HoldsHow verifiable a task is now predicts how automatable it is, the way specifiability predicted it in the 1980s.

    The more a task/job is verifiable, the more amenable it is to automation in the new programming paradigm.

    HoldsThe best historical analogy for AI is not electricity or the industrial revolution but a new computing paradigm, because both are fundamentally about automating digital information processing.

    AI has been compared to various historical precedents: electricity, industrial revolution, etc., I think the strongest analogy is that of AI as a new computing paradigm (Software 2.0) because both are fundamentally about the automation of digital information processing.
