   Even the Millennium Prize Problems have, in a way, become benchmarks for model companies to prove themselves. The smartest individuals among humans are becoming replaceable. Intelligence has become a product you can quantify and buy with electricity. That feels awful.

      You can't really replace the smartest individuals because if you take a person who's not "smart" they can't do much with the AI.

      I think the more accurate description of what's happening is that access to expertise is becoming commodified.

         I think that's right. Expert experience used to be almost the most precious and valuable part of the computer field, but today that experience has been "distilled" into SOTA models.
