Former OpenAI executive Zack Kass argues everything that got cheap did so because nobody could stand in front of it — software being the prime example — while housing, healthcare, and education instead got a permission layer. He claims the ruling class broke a 900-year-old promise around 1990 and "we should never forgive them." The poster extends the point: shipping cheap products works for the same reason — no approval required.
