Yes but this requires the willingness to take on the additional stress and risk of managing your own sales, marketing, accounting, etc.

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.
If AI can 20x an engineer, it can handle all this too.
Sadly it can’t.
