    The key point is “missing the best applicants”. Companies care about good enough, not best, most of the time. There are only a few positions where they truly worry about having actually good people, and they’re often wrong about which ones and how many they should care about.

      “Good enough”… is going to be AIs themselves, way cheaper than people. Some of the “actually good”, will also be AIs… just the expensive version. A few people will need to stay there to write “general vision” prompts, oversee the lower level AIs, and press Enter.

      The interesting part, is that it will be much easier to 100% control the work output of the AIs, letting businesses make data-driven optimizations (by manager AIs), and become way more competitive.
