The Spin

This is a serious attempt to ensure AI's gains don't just flow to the top — proposing public wealth funds, portable benefits and tax shifts from labor to capital to keep everyday Americans in the game. The plan acknowledges that without bold industrial policy, AI could hollow out Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP as payroll taxes shrink. This is the kind of ambitious, democratic framework needed to make superintelligence work for everyone, not just shareholders.

OpenAI’s blueprint looks less like reform than a power play, using the language of safety and shared gains while lobbying against real oversight and tightening control. Internal accounts point to deception, sidelined safeguards and a drive for dominance as AI spreads into surveillance and work. The result risks a techno-feudal system where people depend on opaque systems to live, concentrating power while eroding autonomy.

There's a 50% chance that at least 9.7% of workers will be replaced by AI systems performing end-to-end labor in 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
