From a post I saw on X earlier today: “Sam Altman says AI agents capable of all knowledge work may not be far away. Which is why precaution with each new level of AI capability makes sense. But you can’t be too cautious. If companies adopt AI too slowly, they could be replaced by fully autonomous AI-run startups.” It seems like a lot of people are getting distracted by new agent capabilities that they aren’t thinking ahead as much. If things are going to change increasingly quickly then it becomes more valuable to create products that will last longer than the next capability jump. Are fully ai companies really going to emerge soon? Is anyone worried about this? What changes when agents can serve in all roles of a company and manage engineering, product, marketing, and finance all just as well as humans, and probably better eventually? Will this make indie hacking more appealing? Just a single owner interfacing with a co executive agent which manages the entire company? submitted by /u/iluvecommerce
