People who work to develop and use this tech are rewarded. It's not just for capitalists.
Most people are not helping with AI or with tech in general. Most people are not working to develop AI nor are they attempting to integrate AI into their workflow. If they don't adapt, they won't benefit and rightly so. But people who are actually helping will be rewarded proportionately.
Fewer hours and higher pay? It's here. We've all heard of comfy tech jobs, writing 10 lines of code a day working from home for $250k. That's mostly people who use tech like Python and JavaScript. Soon people will be doing better than that with generative AI. 4-day workweeks are around the corner.
McKinsey estimated that the top 5% of employees produce 95% of the value. These are not capitalists, they are technologically sophisticated workers. The media likes to report "productivity is increasing, wages are not" but the median worker isn't any more productive than 20 years ago. The people actually driving productivity increases are rewarded fairly, their wages are going up rapidly.
