Thought Experiment: + Imagine all your AI tools (chat, cursor, etc) were embodied as one human "Intern" who worked remotely. + All of the interfacing and outputs are the same. + Rate of improvement is also the same. Let's say you have $1M in annual salary available to spend. What's max you would pay this Intern?

(I would pay this intern every penny we have available outside of the core team. And prob raise specifically to pay them more.)

If this AI-powered "Intern" delivers consistent output, learns faster than any human, and scales across tasks 24/7 with zero burnout, you’re no longer paying for labor—you’re paying for leverage. In that case, $1M/year might even feel like a bargain, especially if it compounds your business.

1. quantify the marginal benefit they're bringing to your business 2. pay them that amount i think we'll start to see comp packages that are marked to revenue per employee - both human and AI - and it will be a power law distribution
