Because the incentives are not aligned. In a capitalist society societal consciousness is necessarily imprinted with capitalist (value extracting) logic.

If most of the people around you believe that making money is the logical way to survive then making money will become the goal of many to most human interactions. People will choose big publishers because big publishers guarantee them some amount of money (and services around publishing) in exchange for the ownership and monetisation rights (and then the right to sue somebody into oblivion when they break copyright law).

So the rich and vibrant ecosystem can be reality, just not within current society.

The true value of AI lies in hyper-specialized models that you can run locally / are embedded in programs to make tedious tasks easier.

As true open-source models mature more and more they will make the big AI labs completely obsolete.

If you pair meds with therapy and adjusting your life according to the things you learn about yourself through the lens of the diagnosis your quality of life can increase dramatically (at least it did for me).

what the person is criticizing is that fraud gets way less recognition as being disgusting than one-on-one violent crime. not trying to excuse the violence

There is already a named concept for it, you were probably looking for "social murder"

nobody becomes CEO because of being a cog, you have to intentionally seek it out and be actively willing to participate in the wage theft machine
