I’d like that to be true but the argument that people who champion AI always make is that those who embrace the technology will out compete those who don’t. This technology isn’t free, certainly not globally. Sounds like power will concentrate in the hands of early adopters. If AI makes everyone productive then labor value goes down. I’m just having a hard time seeing this as a massive benefit to ordinary people.

In that regard you do have a valid point. Equitable access to models is going to be a huge, huge deal. Things aren't getting off to a great start in that regard.

To those looking at becoming politically active in this area, it will be much better to work to democratize AI than it will be to try to stop it. The former will be difficult, the latter impossible.
