Where will the true turning point come from? When companies start seriously comparing employee salaries with AI API costs.

To be honest, at this stage, this path is simply not feasible. Agent technology is still far from mature, and its reliability cannot yet replace human labor. But once leading AI labs begin rushing to go public and chasing profits, the entire situation will change. Only then will the cost ledger truly be brought to the forefront.

By that time, we will be able to see clearly whether this system can really run smoothly.

Well... once it goes public, there will be a good show to watch. When the cost ledger is opened, many workers will be left out in the cold.

Just wait until that day, the wave of layoffs will probably hit... Anyone still praising the maturity of Agents will have to eat their words.

The moment the game equilibrium is broken, you'll see the true face of incentive distortion. The pressure of going public can reshape a company's cost ledger more than any technology.

Here we go again? By the time the leading labs go public, the flowers will have withered. When the time comes to compete fiercely, it will just be us workers who get optimized.

Wait, isn't this logic reversed? When companies actually do their accounting, they are forced to reduce costs, and at that time, the reliability issue will be ignored, right?
