Early industrialization meant industrial canneries to feed people, building cities to house everyone from the countryside, indoor plumbing.

And the AI revolution is no housing, worsening food, a few people with yachts, the Epstein class getting away with what they want to do, and no new plumbing hookups because the datacenter took the municipal water supply.

[tsss]

You got it the wrong way around. Industrial revolution happened _because_ there was demand from a new middle class for those goods.
