The further I am from abject poverty and living only to survive, the less I need #AI. And you know what this makes me realize?

That folks who hate AI are effectively the same as wholly able-bodied people pushing each other around on wheelchairs, doing wheelies, and then telling the rest of the world how useless wheelchairs are because they, personally, can’t find a non-trivial use for them.

Maybe AI isn’t for the average person? Maybe our privilege—that thing that lets us feel certain of tomorrow’s food and shelter—makes AI worthless and even harmful to most human beings.

That’d be quite the thing, wouldn’t it?
