I completely agree with you, ai should be seen as a great thing, but we all know that the society we live in will not pass those benefits to the average person, in fact it’ll probably be used to make life worse. From a leftist perspective it’s very easy to see this, but from the Norman position, atleast in the US, people aren’t thinking about how our society slants ai towards being evil and scary, they just think ai is evil and scary. Again I completely agree with what you’ve said it’s just important to remember how reactionary the average person is.

Oh no 218 million for two companies that have a higher GDP than 95% of nations, how will they ever recover?

I don’t think they do, most just try to call out needless islamaphobia.

Sound like a big upgrade, congrats on your recovery!
