Sounds great!

My hope is 2030 sees more organizations that are each smaller. It implies more services provided by the economy thanks to greater specialization. For example today, SaaS tools exist for so many things you’d have had to hire for in the past. Thanks to SaaS you can get started really easily - take payments, get a storefront, send email newsletters..

If the trend of increasing specialization crosses over and starts to include services that require intelligence, it will be a net good on a scale we can’t imagine.

The megaliths of today also have more market power than optimal, hence so much anti-consumer shenanigans.

Bring on the layoffs!

By definition, SaaS is something you hire a company to do - you're paying for a service

Are you suggesting that large corporations will shrink market-share because they can all increase automation? How would that work?
