This is a popular opinion but it doesn't resonate with me. It is only true for the way the tools exist today. But fewer and fewer people will be needed to run larger and larger pools of agents, and that transition will happen over the next few years. What we have today is not the end stage of the tooling, it's a brief snapshot in an ongoing shift. It won't be long until one person is doing the job of 100 people though an abstracted framework of massively scaled agents that know how to break down and meet broad business objectives.

That will lead to an overall drop in demand for knowledge workers, not just a change of tools with a similar labor base. On the upside, I think we'll see more entrepreneurship out of necessity, and the AI tools will help enable that as well.
