#139: The Government Knows AGI Is Coming, Superintelligence Strategy, OpenAI’s $20,000 Per Month Agents & Top 100 Gen AI Apps | The Artificial Intelligence Show | Podwise
This podcast episode discusses the rapidly approaching arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its potential impact on jobs, national security, and the global economy. The hosts analyze an interview with a former White House AI advisor, highlighting concerns about unpreparedness and the lack of a societal plan for AGI's disruptive effects on labor markets. OpenAI's plans to sell AI agents for knowledge work at high prices ($2,000-$20,000/month) are presented as evidence of this impending disruption. The discussion also covers the rise of AI in various sectors (writing, coding, finance) and the increasing competition between nations in AI development, emphasizing the need for proactive preparation and strategic thinking. A new framework, the "human-to-machine scale for writers," is introduced to help writers navigate the integration of AI into their work.
