    Holds How 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.

    Holds The 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.

    Sam Altman quoted

    Holds People will find new kinds of useful work as AI advances, though it will not resemble the jobs of today.

    We will find new things to do, new ways to be useful to each other, and new ways to compete, but they may not look very much like the jobs of today.
