Thank you for putting all the time and thoughtfulness into this post, even if the conclusion is “nope, doesn’t pan out.” I’m grateful that it’s out here.
I wouldn’t characterise the conclusion as “nope, doesn’t pan out”. Maybe more like: we can’t infer too much from existing PAL, but AI agency rents are an important consideration, and for a wide range of future scenarios new agency models could tell us about the degree of rent extraction.
