  Sam Altman has a guarantee. Most people on HN have a chance. Most people have neither.

  Who's going to work at all these companies then? Unless every single profession suddenly only requires 1 person to do the entire thing with no management, coordination or hierarchies, a lot of people will be labor not capital.

    Maybe companies as we think of them are a temporary phenomenon in human history

  There is no evidence that it has made it easier to end up with a successful company, however.

  Yes, so there will be all sorts of attempts, and the productive forces will compete with each other, while landowners and owners of harder to disrupt industries will have the power to choose among them, deciding who will be allowed to be successful and who will fail. There isn't a single ordinary person at the table, no labour unions, no political parties or anything democratic. It's Microsoft, it's Google, it's some venture-capital owned French firm, some venture-capital owned German firm, etc. Maybe if Schmidhuber's stuff is good as he hopes it is maybe there'll be an Austrian firm, etc., but mostly, it'll be a capital intensive business controlled by people with capital.
