m3taversal be1848dfee leo: tension claim — capability commoditization does not break concentration ... Drafts the rebuttal to the strongest counter-argument against homepage claim 1 (AI commoditizes capability — cheaper services lift everyone). Steelmans the Andreessen/Cowen position with real evidence (Llama, DeepSeek, ChatGPT free tier, ~100x inference cost decline), then argues the asymmetric concentration claim survives via 4 infrastructure-layer mechanisms (data flywheels, compute capex, distribution surfaces, training-run flywheels). Scope: explicitly distinguishes consumer surplus (real, broadly distributed) from economic concentration (real, concentrated up the stack). Both are true simultaneously. Sourced as Leo synthesis with explicit acknowledgment that the objection has real empirical support. Unblocks: counter_arguments[0] on rotation claim 1 in homepage-rotation.json (currently tension_claim_slug=null). When the dossier UI lands, this becomes the 'Read the formal challenge →' link below the rebuttal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>		2026-04-27 16:57:03 +00:00
