Roles which justify massive amounts of inference compute.
The CEO function is perhaps the clearest example.
Would it be worth it for Apple to spend $100 billion annually on inference compute for Mega Steve?
Sure.
Just consider what this buys you.
Millions of subjective hours of strategic planning, Monte Carlo simulations of different five-year trajectories, deep analysis of every line of code and technical system, and exhaustive scenario planning.
The cost to have an AI take a given role will become just the amount of compute the AI consumes.
This will change our understanding of which abilities are scarce.
Future AI firms won't be constrained by what's rare or abundant in human skill distributions.
They can optimize for whatever abilities are most valuable.
Want Steve Wozniak-level engineering talent?
Cool.
Once you've got one, the marginal copy costs pennies.
Need a thousand world-class researchers?
Just spin them up.
The limiting factor isn't finding or training rare talent.
It's just compute.
The more valuable the decisions, the more compute you'll want to throw at them.
A single strategic insight from Mega Steve could be worth billions.
One of the coolest things about this video is that we did not shoot a single frame of video for it.
