MODERATORS
There was a very common consensus that television wasn’t bad because it hasn’t affected me. Or advertising isn’t bad because “people can make up their own minds”. So we let it go.
That letting it go allowed Fox News and Talk radio and online nazis to destroy American democracy in six months. Yes it took a few decades to get up to speed, but here we are now.
That’s what the AI discussion is like to me.
In a world without justice, democracy is just a temporary distraction, creating the illusion that we have rights when in fact we only have them as long as it benefits some bad guys.
Uh. Sure. Okay.
Well, it's like a law of nature: if you don't fight for what's yours, others will take it from you.
