If GPT-class models keep boosting productivity, who captures the value—workers or shareholders?
AI doesn't need to replace your job, it just needs to make you produce more for the same paycheck.
Here's the pitch that doesn't follow all way through to it's logical conclusion: AI increases output per worker. That's the whole pitch. But increased output doesn't automatically mean increased pay... it means fewer hires, hiring freezes, and the workers who remain doing more for the same wage. The productivity goes up. The paycheck doesn't follow it.
So where does the value actually go? Not back to labor. It gets redirected into AI infrastructure, stock buybacks, and consolidating out competitors. That's not a bug in how this is unfolding, it's the default setting of an economy where profit already comes more from asset ownership and gatekeeping than from building or paying people. AI just runs that pattern faster. You don't need mass layoffs to concentrate wealth upward you just need output per worker to rise while the income from that output flows to whoever owns the infrastructure, not whoever did the work.
I wrote a longer breakdown here, for those needing more explanation than this post alone can cover, about how this fits into a bigger pattern of income shifting from labor to capital: https://independentreporter1789.substack.com/p/duopoly

“We can guarantee cash benefits as far out, and at whatever size you like” Connect the dots.
In the words of the Federal Reserve, under oath in Congress, about whether Social Security can run out of money. “We can guarantee cash benefits as far out, and at whatever size you like...” UBI is Social Security for everyone. Connect the dots.

Left vs. right is the argument they let you have. Top vs. bottom is the one they don't.

He Wants to Ban Corporate Money From Politics. Leadership Decides If His Bill Ever Reaches the Floor — Using the Same Money.
He's Not Fighting One Corrupt Politician. He's Fighting Whoever Controls the Floor — and That's Not on the Ballot.
Leadership Controls the Floor, the Committees, and the Reelection Money. A Single Member Filing a Bill Controls None of It.
Anti-Corruption Bills Don't Die From Opposition. They Die From Never Getting a Vote.
The Anti-Corruption Bill Has to Survive the Most Corrupted Part of Congress First: Who Controls the Agenda.
Filing a Bill and Passing a Bill Are Two Different Systems. He's Only Talking About the First One.
You Don't Need to Defeat One Corrupt Politician. You Need to Defeat the System That Decides Whose Bills Get a Vote.

They said UBI was unrealistic. Then they gave it to billionaires.

The Yang who ran against oligarchy endorsed the candidate the status quo built. Yang's Mahan endorsement makes no sense through a UBI lens. It makes perfect sense through a wealth-protection lens. Here's why.

OPINION: Monday’s rally was at best underwhelming and at worst an alarming preview of the campaign voters may get if Xavier Becerra becomes the party’s nominee for governor, Jack Ohman writes.
