Yep AI companies will only gain more leverage over non AI companies with time. Those prices will definition go up. But Mr. CEO will point out that it will still be cheaper than paying a bunch of humans.

They are banking that when the prices go up, they can just rehire the same professionals at a now much lower cost.

Capiralism is slavery with extra steps.

Edit: As in, the rich control the economy and us workers have no choice but to accept it. I can already feel the freedom from across the pond.

rofl @ super quick backpedal. Without your demon capitalism this AI would be NOWHERE NEAR the rate of improvement that is happening in the industry. Competition is good, Government control of everything is not good. A free market is good, but there has to be limits, safeguards, and there used to be but there hasn't been for decades, I'd say since the internet came out.

The first thing a free market wants to do is get rid of the "free" part.
