replyYes but this requires the willingness to take on the additional stress and risk of managing your own sales, marketing, accounting, etc.
If AI can 20x an engineer, it can handle all this too.
replySadly it can’t.
Except now you also team up with people who are adept at sales, marketing, accounting, etc. now to form a cooperative instead of a corporation. Maybe workers can get back some of the rights and fruits of their labor.
