since 2017 Musk has been talking about the only way humans keep up with AI is to merge with it, which is the whole pitch behind Neuralink, like become the the borg basically lol Anthropic published numbers last week on what’s happening inside its own company and the merge looks a lot more boring and not like actual cyborgification cause by august the agents its employees run were logging about six times as many hours as the employees themselves and share of junior technical hires fell from 27% to 9% since early 2025, and 20% of people they surveyed in April said their job was shifting from doing the work to managing claudes but stats that stuck with me is that reading everything their agents produce would take even non technical employees half their work week so instead nobody reads it all, and the job becomes deciding which parts a human has to look at before anything could happen This is how most merging will likely work since the other way requires a brain implant and main way companies are using agents is by letting the agent do whatever they want up until a certain point where they will require human approval for certain actions, like a refund or an email to a customer and companies that are rolling out agents out across teams mostly handle it at the action level and reading data runs on its own, and anything that moves money or deletes something waits for a person, these tooling has gotten pretty normal too like Orq AI lets you flag individual agent tools as requiring human approval and keeps who can deploy agents separate from who can only test them, and LangGraph handles the approval part with interrupts But What i can’t figure out is who trains the next people to sit at that approve button when the junior jobs that used to teach the work are the ones disappearing submitted by /u/spicepotatochips
