I don’t think anyone has figured how to do 10x the work yet as we don’t know what the work is. AI cannot (yet) define the work that needs to be done, for some definition of needs to be done, and we need humans to figure that out for now. Us humans cannot work fast enough so we still build the same stuff but with less people.

Overall US economic productivity has gone up about 6X in 75 years, which included computers and the internet. So we absorb these things, but gradually.

		Looking at that graph is very interesting. There is no obvious point where the microcomputer or the Internet made any major difference. For that matter if we want to talk about percentage increases that should be a log scale. Productivity improvements appear to be slowing down.
