You’re describing output while the essay is discussing productivity.

If you’re 10x more productive, someone is willing to pay you 10x as much as they were last year, because you’re producing 10x as much value as before.

Has your salary increased 10x?

I don't believe the 10x claims, but since when has salary been any indication of productivity?

Productivity is a value measured in dollars. So if you’re 10x more productive, someone somewhere is making 10x the $ value from your output.

You should expect this to be reflected in the labour market somewhere. Maybe not your own salary, but in somebody’s salary.

Salary stays the same. A bunch of others are fired. You’re expected to produce their level of output as well as your own. After all, you’re 10x more productive now?

Salary has had weak correlation to productivity gains since last century.
