What are the top AI researchers saying about the future of human work?
@BrendanFoody, co-founder and CEO of Mercor:
"People often have this misconception that we won't need data in three years because we'll have super intelligence... AI better than humans at absolutely everything."
"Based on all of our conversations with top researchers, while models will soon automate a majority of what we can do on our laptops, that long tail of everything else, all of the tacit knowledge that lives in people's heads is incredibly difficult to automate."
"I've talked with a lot of researchers who believe that most human knowledge work will be creating data and training agents in five to 10 years."
"That is just radically different from what a lot of people or investors believe today."
Mercor's average pay rate just surpassed $100 / hour.
We're mobilizing tens of thousands of top software engineers, bankers, lawyers, and doctors to build the next generation of AI models.
Every top economist believes that there will be more jobs in 10 years than there are today. The most important question in the economy is what those jobs will be.
Training agents will continue to be one of the fastest-growing, highest-paying job categories in history.
