Most people are missing multiple key elements about how GPTs are going to transform the working world.

(1) Top performers are going to be proactive about learning how to use it and integrate it into their workflows. They're going to become even more productive.

(2) As this occurs at scale, companies will have an even harder time attracting and retaining top talent as its now easier to spin up a business themselves - and who wants to work for someone else, when you can comfortably work for yourself.

(3) Individuals late in their careers have already gone through the upheavals brought by the personal computer, then the internet, then social media...there's a good chance they simply won't want to deal with the headaches of learning yet another new thing all over again. So they'll opt to retire.

(4) So large corporations will be faced with an already dwindling workforce, institutional knowledge opting to retire early, and their best performers opting out of corporate life for solopreneurship, 'freelancing' and DAO involvement.

In summary, yes, GPTs stand to bring material gains in workforce productivity, but it's unlikely that incumbent corporations will be able to full capture as many of the benefits as anticipated. 

Individual workers who are proactive and thoughtful in their approach will likely be the real 'winners' from GPTs.

(1 - cntd) Because of how productive they are, they'll find themselves with free time at their day job. They won't quit (a paycheck is nice) and can't advance faster (someone will block them), so they'll use the additional time to explore side projects. 

Eventually, they'll make enough money to leave; and they will.

Been saying some very similar thing— What if that new productivity leads to 4day workweek (mass layoffs worse for consumer pushback than simply not adding) With 8+ hrs of agency a week, side hustles are accepted & pave the way for more interest in DAO participation - not just people launching their own companies??

Amdahl's law: speed of process is bottlenecked by the slowest component (can't be parallelized). It's a "computing law" but also applies to orgs: an org's value-creation capability only increases if headcount increases for parallelizable process. GPT-4 means "faster cores." Important shift.
