I think you can s//g that in various ways, and it would be true:

* Music, musicians

* Publishing/journals, academics

* (and more that I can't think of right now)

View on HN

* Startups that exit, software engineers

* Pharma companies, US taxpayers funding basic research

* Waltons, Walmart employees

The list is endless.

It is weird that it seems like the people that are generating value and the people extracting value aren't ever the same people.

Information asymmetry has never played such a large role in income inequality as it does today.

I’m really hoping people are empowered to use these artificial intelligence systems to level the playing field. No idea what the likelihood of this is to happening though.

As long as we use these awfully inefficient models, the probability is closer to zero than it is to one.

More like credit asymmetry.
