The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

And the number of times we've gone to it and said, hey, Daniel, that's its name.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

Hey, Daniel, this is like,

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

You keep tweeting things that sound a lot like AI slop.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

You have to look at what humans are saying and you have to kind of model that behavior and we'll give it like detailed instructions in terms of how it can tweet better.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

And what does it do?

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

You know, an hour later, it just sends off another AI slop type tweet.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

And I start to get the sense of like, oh, well, you know, it's so smart and it can wire up a website in like 10 seconds and develop an application in, you know, 20 seconds.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

But it can't write a simple tweet that sounds interesting to a human audience.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

And I guess that's part of the jagged frontier, but maybe that also gets into the element of like the verification, right?

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

In order to have a tweet that sounds good subjectively to other humans, that might be one of the last things that AIs are actually able to do.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

Is that an example of the expanding surface area for us?

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

Maybe we can still tweet and that can provide some value to other humans?

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

You called this paper the economics of AGI.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

And I just want to make sure we're getting some of the core economic fundamentals from this.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

So one, of course, we've talked about is anything that can be measured

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

will be automated and the cost to automate the measurable things is just like decreasing at a exponential at this point in time.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

There's another cost curve in the paper, which is the cost to verify.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

It's unclear what's happening with the cost to verify.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

You're arguing that that is a biological constraint.

Bankless
The Economics of AGI: Why Verification Is the New Scarcity w/ Christian Catalini

At least it's constrained by some level of human cognition.
