Did the rise of fire, the wheel, the printing press, manufacturing, and microprocessors also give rise to futures without economic rights? I can download a dozen LLMs today and run them on my own machine. AI may well do the opposite, and democratize information and intelligence in currently unimaginable ways. It's far too early to say.

Well the industrial revolution lead to the rise of labor unions and socialism as counteracting force against the increased power it gave capital.

So far, I see no grand leftist resurgence to save us this time around.

The resurgence seen so far has been for the populist right, ones led by the rich and powerful.

Pied pipers leading the masses to their demise with false promises.
