That's a whole lot os strawmanning in one paragraph. I don't worship the free market or entrepreneurs.

The people you lump together as "entrepreneurs" are literally just a means to an end. The birth of an AI that will render governments and society as a whole pretty moot is an inevitability. That genie is going to pop out of the bottle like someone dropped a Mentos in that **** and nobody is going to know what to do about it.
