This is on point. The revelation of this early AI era is not computational excellence, but human failure.

The open question is who’s worse: one major tyrant three thousand miles away or three thousand minor tyrants a mile away. If we consent to live under capitalism, then we’re destined to live in a world of lies. We always have; it’s all we’ve ever known.

What we don’t know is whether we’ll be worse or better off when the technology of forgery is available to random broke assholes as easily as it is to governments and companies. More slop seems bad, but if our immunity against bullshit improves, people might redevelop critical thinking skills and capitalism could end.

No one is free until everyone is free. Thinking you’re insulated because you do white collar work is idiotic.
