Honestly I think this is still too optimistic. Humans are not consistent economic actors—we can be persuaded of new things even if those things are subjective, will sometimes take deals we might in other circumstances call unfavorable, and on an absolute scale aren’t all that bright. Owning capital does not fix this, and so an AI that’s good at interacting with humans will be able to get more from us than you might expect just looking at the current economy.
