Listening to the latest Green Pill on agents (which is pretty good overall), and was impressed with the self-unconscious elitism with which they approached the concept of "infinite back rooms".

After such a great jam on using AI to cultivate *collective* intelligence, when it comes to "big" decisions, these guys were suddenly only interested in making backrooms of "great man" figures (who ofc looked like themselves and their idols). Only a cursory thought was given to including voices of the workers, and even then it was only as AI avatars.

We have the tools right now to make these backrooms of avatars trained on the collective wisdom of the crowd.. But a tech founder only sees ways to replicate themselves and those who they aspire to be.

We must prioritize the proletarianization of the developer class (yeah, even @owocki ), or risk letting them reduce working people to a second-class "Implementor Avatar" in their backrooms of techno-feudalist AI backscratchers

The comments in this thread really showcase how founder types have no interest in listening to "non-technical" workers, and instead attempt so silence workers with their outsized social capital.

Shame those folks can't see the positive reception to posts like these and think "hey, maybe I should take this to heart".
