"We will eat whatever slop gets scooped onto our plate as long as it's a bigger scoop than China's or Russia's."

This is an incredibly well reasoned philosophical argument against the continued encroachment of AI and the rot at the heart of our tech and our economy, but this one sentence cuts to the quick of why it will still steam-roll over us: The vast majority of the populace, at least in America, and I suspect in the larger "developed world" does not care. As long as there is reasonably palatable slop for us to consume, that's good enough to appease us. I see little islands of folks like me ranting and raving about this shit online, but do it in person, and you'll find yourself speaking with a sympathetic (but docile) choir, or folks who just... don't get it. They *like* it.

THEY LIKE IT.

They like the slop. It's good enough. It's easy. Why do I have to keep making things so difficult?
