You sort of get at this with your biggest question, but who's to say the new ventures will require human labor at all? It seems far more likely that any new types of jobs going forward will be designed intentionally so that agents can complete them, given the strong incentives. I agree that companies will scale out, but all signs point to them scaling out their token spend rather than hiring.

So we both agree that it really comes down to a single question

"Can humans do any single thing better than AI"

If its true then companies will scale out just enough that it requires 40 hours per week of our labour.

I disagree. My question back to you is, if you were a company, why would you not scale out to have as many humans as possible? You'd do it because if you don't, your competitors have an advantage over you
