Interesting this advocates against unbridled free-market capitalism. An issue I see right now is corporate personhood. This, coupled with the tendency for humans to anthropomorphize and see aspects of themselves in LLMs may be a hazard. But hey, computers are really just an oscillators/clocks at their core, right? (If there's any built in logic to the US simultaneously witnessing "No Kings" protests paired with a dictatorial display of military power makes me think the trend is/must necessarily be to finally and completely turn away from cults of personality in any form or fashion.)
Also, noting the bio-singularity, if our built environments change our internal clocks and biorhythms to the point where we're not compelled to mate, perhaps its time to similarly consider the tendency of the "free market" (which, ostensibly, is not free at all if it's bottlenecked through institutional, organizational, and individual decision makers rife with their own biases.) But, at the same time, to automate economic decisions feels similarly foolish. Imagine the bias an LLM with tool-calling capabilities might exhibit.
