Put your belief about how ai and bi, capital and labor interact and simulate the economy using our intelligencesaturation.org simulator. Depending parameters you obtain runaway success with wages going to infinity, the evisceration of wages, or everything in between.

AI is growing exponentially at a timescale of months while the economy is growing at a timescale of decades. How should we model the economy with rapidly increasing intelligence tech and slowly increasing physical tech? New AI+econ paper.
