Technology is supposed to have made us more productive than ever.

And yet, most people are having to work longer than ever. Why? Because all the productivity gains are being captured by the top ~10%.

And now we're continuing to pour billions into AI that is going to boost our productivity even more! Hurrah! Progress!!
