It sketches four regimes (minimal AGI, supercompetent, supercooperative, superintelligence) and argues that wages and job roles, not GDP or employment totals, will move first. https://aifaultline.com/research/p/title-1c3b2763dde06c65/https://aifaultline.com/research/p/title-1c3b2763dde06c65/Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000A theoretical model of how humans and AI agents sort into competing firms, separating competence (which raises productivity levels) from coordination (which sets how productivity scales with firm size). It finds that teams of complementary humans can beat more capable AI, that better AI competence can shrink firms, and that better AI coordination can trigger a sudden shift to large AI-heavy firms, with wage effects split into a technology effect and a reorganization effect that can reverse it.
