🚨 AI Researcher Drops BOMBSHELL Startup – Plans to Replace EVERY Human Worker
Silicon Valley Just Got NUKED
Brace yourselves – famed AI researcher Tamay Besiroglu just launched Mechanize, a startup with a mission so radical it’s sending shockwaves through the tech world. Their goal? The complete annihilation of human labor through AI automation.
“The market potential here is absurdly large: workers in the US are paid around $18 trillion per year in aggregate. For the entire world, the number is over three times greater, around $60 trillion per year.”
Tamay Besiroglu, Mechanize Founder
🔥 Why This Is Either GENIUS or CATASTROPHIC
Besiroglu isn’t playing small ball. Mechanize aims to build the infrastructure to automate every single job – from Wall Street analysts to fast food workers. The reaction? Pure firestorm:
- Epoch research director: “Yay just what I wanted for my bday: a comms crisis”
- AI expert Anthony Aguirre: “I think it will be a huge loss for most humans”
- Investor Marcus Abramovitch: “The team is exceptional… have thought deeper on AI than anyone I know”
💣 The Controversy DOUBLE WHAMMY
This isn’t just about replacing jobs. Besiroglu’s AI research institute Epoch – previously seen as an impartial AI watchdog – now faces serious credibility questions. Critics are asking:
- Was Epoch’s research secretly feeding AI companies all along?
- How can we trust their benchmarks now?
- Is this startup the ultimate conflict of interest?
💰 The BILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION
Besiroglu claims total automation will create “explosive economic growth” through:
- Vast abundance of goods/services
- Higher living standards
- New unimaginable products
But here’s the brutal reality check: No jobs = no income = who buys all this stuff? Besiroglu’s answer? “People will get income from rents, dividends, and government welfare.” Bold assumption when AI companies are notorious for tax avoidance.
âš¡ The SILVER LINING (Maybe)
Current AI agents SUCK at actual work. They’re unreliable, forgetful, and can’t execute complex tasks. Mechanize wants to fix this – but they’re racing against:
- Salesforce’s agent platform
- Microsoft’s AI workforce
- Dozens of specialized agent startups
The bottom line? The future of work just got thrown into a blender. Whether this is utopia or dystopia depends on who you ask – but one thing’s certain: The game just changed forever.
