"The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent," he added. "Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry."

Needless to say, we haven't seen anything like that yet. OpenAI's top AI agent — the tech that people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman say is poised to upend the economy — still moves at a snail's pace and requires constant supervision.

Of course, through IVF you could probably do it with about one third of that amount of women. Just thinking like a manager here.

Hmm. Maybe. Though then you start pushing that maternal mortality number up; and while, of course they don't actually care about the lives of these people, they'd probably care that they're depleting their "breeding stock" (ew).

I'm still gobsmacked by that number, though. 800 million births per year. That's half all childbearing women pregnant every year; one thing I didn't think about earlier is, with recovery time, that means that literally every woman would have to be pregnant every other year.

That would utterly torpedo our economy. We'd be basically losing a quarter of the workforce, all at once, and we'd never get them back.
