Perhaps the incentive is for variable behavior. When there is low GPU demand, burn more, but reduce when there is contention.

What if you want someone to look at a portion of it but they don't know enough to approve the whole thing. They give +1

Someone else knows the other portion well and sees the +1 and decides to +2.

In practice this ends the stalemate where partial owners don't feel confident to approve the whole thing

Is this really the case though? Currently it appears to benefiting a small few and there is not much reason to think it will change going forward.

If 95% of jobs go away, the destabilization leads to violent conflicts, and power and wealth become more centralized does it really matter if we have better healthcare or automated cars? Will people have purpose in their lives? Will this be a better world for most?

NYC restricts building height to restrict population by land area. There isn't really a need for small apartments since population density is the limiting factor not space. You could build a not much more expensive apartment building instead of a dorm for the same population.
