Did anyone notice how the article goes on and on about making AI accessible to the billions of people in the world, but then in the same article says this:

> Your agents need to be sovereign. Your company must own and control the agents’ identities, permissions, memory, skills, artifacts, and audit trails. Those assets must be portable, governable, and inaccessible to anyone you have not authorized.

That's not very open, now is it? In fact it sounds like the author assumes that all 8 billion people in the world will all be running their own company, and they will all still be competing in a game of capitalism.

How is that contradictory? It seems like a repeat of the (original, now eroded) vision of the newfangled Personal Computer as democratizing certain kinds of production:

1. It's open/accessible/etc. because it's easy for anybody to have.

2. But their is not open/accessible/etc. to strangers. Each person's PC/AI/etc. should be theirs to own, it should express their will and guard their interests... not somebody else's.

Similarly, "affordable housing" isn't the same as "you can pay $5 to crash in anybody's bedroom."
