I liked this article a lot and got excited because the issue resonated with me, and I wanted to see what the solution was. Then the article ended! Haha. Well apparently this is an unsolved problem in society.
It would be interesting to run a company like it’s the free market, where you give out money based off how effective the individual parts of it are. But that’s basically done already, the issue is that work done by humans is not quantifiable and comparable at scale.
Hopefully LLMs when given the reasoning upgrade can perfectly measure all of our contributions and then we can get rid of the central planning group (since they’re so costly) and replace it with some AI

If the company as a whole can buy human work per hour, perhaps so could the intra-company free market.
Imagine a company that hires people for "minimum wage + bonus". Internally, the company consists of projects; each of them can 'hire' any willing employee currently not assigned on a project; and if an employee is not 'hired' by any project for 6 months in a row, the employee gets fired by the company.
Maybe even more interesting would be a system where for each N months worked on a project you gain 1 month outside projects, and if you accumulate enough such months, you could try starting a new project within the company.
