Digital tools trickle down.

• Digital Tools [trickle down

• @0xtkgshn:Capital does not trickle down. but ” Software, which is a business based on overwhelming scalability (⊃ the effects of machine learning models created by money and information being plunged into it)” trickles down, so the so-called “Democratization of digital tools “will” do.

• This is an interesting angle.

- Capital does not trickle down because it can be stored indefinitely. - Capitalists' [[capital investment]] to increase productive forces increases capitalists' earnings in the short term. - but competition among capitalists will allow consumers to obtain goods at lower prices in the long run. - This causes trickle down. - Digital tools have a very low cost of production, so the investment is not in "increasing production capacity" but in "producing higher quality - Lower human cost to provide high quality products to everyone than to produce high quality products and low quality products - So trickle down occurs. - Really? - Why not just offer it only to those who pay enough? - Ah, so when competition arises between capitalists, the side with the trust that "what they offer is of higher quality" wins, so it is advantageous to offer advanced products in [[freemium]]. - DeepL was able to win customers because it showed freemium that it could do more advanced translations than Google Translate.
