>You think that these ridiculously high wages that companies like Mercor are paying for data generation are "tanking" bargaining power? I

Yes. Especially when those "high wages" are for 2nd/3rd rate countries. Aka below the minumim standards of first world countries.

>that will not end as long as there is demand for newer and better and more specially trained models

So it will in a few decades after models become capable of themselves? Aka GAI? Seems like a bad bet to hedge on the grand scale of history.

>It would take far more severe shocks to the system to kill the possibility of revolution

A surveillance state and a few hundred drones will do it.
