It absolutely does. AI and robots drives the cost of labour down; it's good for capital, bad for labor. If everyone is a business owner then everyone can benefit. A hundred years ago the majority of Americans were self-employed; mass wage labor is a recent phenomenon.
If that’s what’s actually going to happen. If people start businesses entirely dependent on Anthropic’s ecosystem, they’re more akin to drivers for Uber who basically are employees now stripped of employee wage protection.
If it’s a guy starting his own taxi service with his own app he paid a guy $2000 in Ukraine to produce (as a guy where I live did), that’s different.
