The AI economy is exploding. Yet the users who generate its most valuable insights receive none of the upside:
Real‑world Example
Status Quo
Result
Developer finds a jailbreak
Reports it for free
Model owner profits
Artist perfects a multi‑model style chain
Posts on X for likes
No royalties
Researcher invents a reasoning method
Publishes openly
Monetized by others
