If the great AI swindle has taught us anything, is that what's good for normal people isn't really important when all the macro-economic incentives point the other way and towards the pockets of the ultra rich.

As of April 2025, only 17% of Americans thought AI would have a positive effect on the US over the next 20 years. Only 23% thought AI would be positive for how people do their jobs.
