I'm much less concerned about the impact of AI than about climate change and ecological destruction.

A radical shift in the distribution of work and wealth is long overdue.

I'm sure our children will be better off for AI if it can help us get through the coming war, famine, plague, and "natural" disasters.

AI is tipping the scales not to the favour of the proletariat. "The means of production" is in the hands of the powerful few, and I foresee a very bloody revolution.

This funny old narrative of a revolution in that direction sounds pretty misplaced if we're talking about a future where you won't need humans to get stuff done...

you know what is really funny? the neoliberal narrative of free markets and trickle-down economies and billionaires being valuable members of thr society. If humans are not needed to get stuff done, what's the use for those humans, mmmm?
