The point is that instead of having to complain about the ownership class, you can now be an owner more easily than before. AI enables people to do more on their own. You can build stuff that simply was not feasible before. You still have to do it though.

If you prefer to be subject to the ownership class, I recommend being honest about why that is.

In that case you're still subject to the companies who have billions of dollars to spend on training frontier models and server farms full of GPUs. They're free to change their pricing or the quality of the services offered at will (see the recent Claude Code limit changes). Long-term, what you're describing would be a ton of underpaid "entrepreneurs" with no benefits all working away on whatever B2B SaaS web app while all the real money gets made by the AI services they subscribe to. It would be similar to how Uber has "democratized" taxis.

I, for one, just don't really believe that there's enough market for every person to have their own software business. There's only so many ideas that are interesting enough to be sold.
