It seems AI is really coming to take everyone’s jobs!
Someone’s getting serious.
Recently, Tamay Besiroglu, founder of Epoch AI and a prominent AI researcher, announced on X that he’s starting a new company called Mechanize.
The startup’s goal is to “fully automate all work” and “fully automate the economy.”
Besiroglu isn’t just talking big—he’s already hiring full-stack engineers.
He even calculated Mechanize’s potential market size by analyzing total human wages. “The potential here is staggering: U.S. workers collectively earn about $18 trillion annually. Globally, that figure triples to around $60 trillion per year,” he wrote.
