With ideas floating around about the AI based distortion of society, or with people looking to make examples of how AI will be used as an authoritarian force multiplier, Marc is trying to provide an alternate vision. Since our default view seems to be one of fear, he thinks it should be one of individual power. Clearly he feels the paradigm is wrong. A broke writer who envies the Marc Andreessens of the world is of course going to turn this into an issue of money and class. That's what communists do.

I think we short-circuit the authoritarian uses by having models that anyone can run and utilize any way, any where, for any purpose. At least, I'd rather think about that than worry about whether or not Marc has talked to "poor people," whatever the fuck that means.
