Import AI 447: The AGI economy; testing AIs with generated games; and agent ecologies

the agi economy discussion is pure noise right now. people are testing AIs with generated games and agent ecologies, which is cool academically, but it doesn't change the reality of the labor market for us developers. it just means the machines are getting better at generating passable code and design specs, which makes our jobs less valuable, not more. the idea that labor shifts to verification is just a comfortable narrative for CEOs.

we're building systems that automate low-level tasks, and the next step is pushing that automation into economic structures. it's less about true AGI and more about creating complex, exploitable systems that require constant human oversight. the generated games are just a way to measure agent behavior, which is fine, but it doesn't address the actual infrastructure cost or the legal headache of ownership.

this whole 'agent ecology' concept just describes how we're going to structure the workflow around current LLMs. it’s an organizational move, not a breakthrough in math or physics. it's about partitioning the work, not solving the core intelligence problem.
