You are talking about the people not only doing the work and creating the wealth, but doing the innovations and creating new things. Then you say these are the people who are "too full of themselves". That they should give up on how the commodity they create is used - and by your definition it is a commodity. That they should focus on the needed innovations and that's it.

Well if the workers doing the work don't have a hand in making decisions, who does? We know the answer, from our current era of heirs, limited partners and such, the scions one can see on Rich Kids of Instagram, although they leave the work to their private wealth advisors.

It's the most parasitic idea possible. "Just do all the work and figure out the innovations slave, the aristocracy will take it from there".

I'm saying a bunch of millionaire silicon valley broskis are too full of themselves because they keep on and on about how what they are working on will radically transform all of society in a pinch, and only they can save us from it.

I can assure you their random dev #56 isn't taking any decisions already, this is all PR and grandstanding from the already-millionnaires leadership with their power plays about who knows best how to save all of us from AGI.
