Dylan Patel – Two labs will soon control most of the world's workforce
Anthropic and OpenAI could receive 40%–50% of new compute next year, potentially controlling most usable FLOPs by end-2028 as GB300, TPU v7 and Trainium 3 improve performance per watt 3–5×.Anthropic’s revenue has reached as high as $50M/MW, it started turning profitable in Q2, and compute repricing, regulation and export controls leave margins, financing and centralization as key risks.
The better AI gets, the smaller its share of the economy might get – Alex Imas and Phil Trammell

Post-AGI value may concentrate either in relational goods where human participation itself matters or in ever-expanding machine-made varieties, leaving the endpoint unresolved.H100 rents rising despite abundant compute and no white-collar bloodbath yet make demand elasticity the central signal, while political shocks, redistribution design and concentrated capital ownership remain decisive risks to monitor.
Tyler Cowen — The #1 bottleneck to AI progress is humans
Tyler Cowen argues that AI will transform the world without producing an explosive economic takeoff: as intelligence becomes abundant, adoption, institutions, infrastructure, and other constraints become the bottlenecks.He weighs rapid capability gains against slow diffusion, unusually normal markets, diminishing returns, and the risk that technological progress makes future wars more destructive.
