Controversial AI Startup Mechanize Aims to Replace All Human Workers
Famed AI researcher Tamay Besiroglu has launched Mechanize, a startup with the ambitious goal of fully automating all work and the economy. This initiative has sparked significant backlash, with critics questioning its implications for humanity and the reputation of Besiroglu's non-profit AI research institute, Epoch. Mechanize aims to automate primarily white-collar jobs, with a potential market size exceeding $60 trillion globally. While Besiroglu argues this could lead to economic growth and new opportunities, skeptics warn of severe job losses and diminished income for the workforce. Mechanize is currently hiring as it develops its vision.
