They're not racing to augment and support human workers. They're racing to replace human workers. And what that will lead to is unprecedented levels of concentration and wealth and power because essentially, all the money in the economy — instead of being paid to individual laborers, you're going to pay five to 10 AI companies to do all of the work.

The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The quote, including "They're not racing to augment and support human workers. They're racing to replace human workers." and the warning that "you're going to pay five to 10 AI companies to do all of the work," is accurately attributed to Tristan Harris (Center for Humane Technology) from the NPR interview (March 30, 2026). The NPR source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search corroborates the quote's substance and key phrases verbatim from this NPR segment. Year (2026) is current. The vote "for" on "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity" correctly aligns — Harris explicitly warns of unprecedented concentration of economic output in a handful of AI companies. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 18d ago
