But that's just the thing, productivity is so much higher than, say, 50 years ago, while the average worker has less of a perspective (to own a home, start a family, etc. anything stable to work towards essentially). The profits mostly don't go towards the now more productive workers and ensuring their rights and well-being and a habitable world to live in, do they.

My view is that AI's productive power will allow more individuals to be independent from powerful corporations, and that will significantly weaken those corporations.

It's been really challenging to start companies because you need to go hire and manage a lot of people to handle lots of very different tasks. But it's becoming easier and easier everyday because AI is able to do a lot of that work.

As more people start companies, more competition will drive down prices for everything, making the things people want more accessible.
