If you can share the original X post, a paper link, or the exact quote/spelling, I can track it down. In case it’s going by another name, close ideas that connect company profit/wealth margins, AI, and unemployment include:
- Superstar firm hypothesis: rising markups/profits at dominant firms alongside a falling labor share.
- Automation/AI task-replacement vs. task-creation (Acemoglu & Restrepo): AI can boost productivity/profits but reduce labor demand unless new tasks/industries emerge.
- Skill- or routine-biased technical change (SBTC/RBTC): tech complements high-skill work and displaces routine jobs, affecting wages and employment.
- Winner-take-most/intangible capital dynamics: digital scale effects widen margins at frontier firms.
- Piketty’s r>g and rising capital share: profits/wealth concentrate faster than labor incomes.
