The paradox you highlighted is so spot on: a profit-driven capitalist system cannot survive if AI takes the consumer out of the earning loop. If no one earns, no one spends, and the corporate model collapses under its own weight. Shifting our focus from shareholder wealth to stakeholder health sounds ideal in theory, but as you mentioned, power structures rarely yield control willingly. It’s going to be a wild transition watching how governments attempt to navigate this without falling into total dystopia.
