The future of the firm

Managing people used to be something you earned after years of grunt work. In this post, two people at OpenAI who were running teams of agents at 24 walk through where AI could end up on a company's org chart. In the simplest version, nobody changes seats, so everyone just becomes a manager (an accountant still owns the accounting while agents do the spreadsheet work). The accounting team doesn't shrink either, because the rest of the company is getting more productive and needs more accounting than before.
