I used to feel that way. I’ve also expected much broader democratization of production from 3D printing.

It’s possible software is just not there yet, but I think network effects and de facto cartels are an equal or greater force against the natural progress of technology.

At this point I am pretty convinced it’s going to take a union or pact amongst ai devs, or a revolution, to prevent a couple players from basically “winning capitalism”, and rent seeking off infinite labor supply for eternity.
