My personal opinion on society, is that many many businesses have massive inefficiencies and could be wiped off the map if people understood those weaknesses. But there is a culture of "that CEO is so smart, no chance you could compete". Reality is, they are just hiring random people with fancy degrees. I bet most OpenAI "ai engineers" have no clue how low level GPU CUDA programming even works. They are just tweaking pytorch configs, blowing billions on training.
In the past, tech got away with the above because capital meant if you hired enough people, you ended up with something valuable. But AI levels the playing field, reducing the value of capital and increasing the value of the individual contributor.
