Yeah fair enough. My point was also that not even doctors are 1%ers.

Inequality is so bad already, and as usual the benefits go to those who own the means of production, but AI is so capital intensive very few will get a seat at that table. And unlike previous automation revolutions, AI is on track to progress VERY quickly and VERY widely

AI may never replace X profession, but with AI 1 professional can be as productive as 3 professionals. What will the other 2 do?

I have hope. If just one open source LLM with a commercial license gets released (as I hear Meta is considering), that levels the playing field a little for the rest of us.

Inequality is so intense these days. Probably the worst it's ever been in history, uncharted waters. AI is going to make it worse before it even has a chance to make it better. My original remark was too glib, so, sorry about that. I don't have easy answers for this uncorked genie.
