It’s significant though isn’t it that dominos can’t force you to eat dominos? They have no power, they can only earn our continued patronage by being better for us than the competition. Even if they expand into the vegetable business. They can never claim to “represent” you, they only serve.
Roads are complicated by our limited access to new space. The road takes up a lot of real space, so it might not be possible to meaningfully compete for servicing a home. It could maybe be split though. Half of the street pays company A, half pays company B, and everyone trusts the companies to negotiate for their interests in a very limited and specific way to build and maintain the road.
If we use the open source analogy, maybe people who enjoy road building would get together to do that for the greater good. Maybe they set it up as a toll road and split the proceeds in some way they work out among themselves. Still, there is power in who gets to influence the split most. There’s power in the role of the work equipment orderer. Someone needs to decide where the road goes and doesn’t go.
Even if AI administers everything, who chooses its training and biases?
I’m tempted to just say that the CEO isn’t the problem. Sure they’ve got power, but it’s not truly theres. It’s delegated via consumer spending and self limiting because the expenses of doing business will eat it away to zero unless somehow backfilled but more happy paying customers.
