Great idea. I'm thinking if it could make sense to send the output to a cheap / local model to filter out only the bits that "matter" and pass that through - for the cost some extra time, but maybe it's worth it for saving tokens in the larger model.

It has nothing to do with the Industrial Revolution. Put yourself in their shoes. They are fresh entrants to a job market and these companies seem hell-bent on making them useless in it.
All the websites currently blocking Claude Code or other AI agents are fighting a losing battle. Computer-use is in the early stages, and the thing preventing mass-adoption seems to be the number of tokens it takes. Agents can fumble around trying 10 CLI commands that don't work before finding the right one and we barely notice. But other visual agents (browser use / computer use etc) end up eventually fumbling on to the right thing, but we don't have the patience to wait 20 mins. to click a button. As tokens get cheaper + faster, we probably get the models that can use a UI interface just as natively as a CLI.
The new SaaS is subagent as a service?
Yes, but also you'll never have any early evidence of the Foom until the Foom itself happens.
First, I built the software using my hands to do my bidding...
Now, the software is using my hands to its bidding?
I think your argument isn't exactly right.
You can imagine a future world where producing real goods and services is ~free (AI compute infinite etc.)
In this world, the entire economy will be ~advertising only so you can charge people anything at all instead of giving it away for free.
I was working on something almost similar, mostly to create a browser agent, and LLMs are really good at writing playwright scripts compared to vanilla JS.
I didn't realize the setup script had to be done in the UI over in the environment tab. I assumed it would be reading something like setup.sh from the codebase.
Docs could make that more clear
