As AI compute budgets grow, frontier labs already spend 2 or more dollars on AI for every dollar on human labor. The speaker argues capitalism will push toward a fully tokenized economy with almost no human service workers, treating the shift as inevitable rather than a choice point.

A pessimist will look at this and say, this is humans being replaced by AIs, how awful. An optimist will look at this and say, how incredible, we're empowering fewer people to do more and achieving higher per capita productivity within an organization. What I don't hear very many people asking is, where does this end? So right now I see asset allocations, humans to AIs, or at least human labor versus AI compute budgets, ranging from 1 to 1, 1 to 2. At some of the frontier labs, it's an even more asymmetric ratio. Question in my mind is, is there any stationary endpoint? Is there a fixed point as this evolves? I tend to think as we start to phase humans out of the service labor force, we're going to see all tokens and no humans. It has to. It has to. There's no other way around it. The capitalism will demand it.
