I love how so much of the AI debate is on things like:

* Will AI take people's jobs?
* Will AI destroy creativity?
* Will AI take over the world?
* Will AI be used to make people poorer?

And not:

* Will corporations that use AI get rid of people's jobs?
* Will corporations that use AI destroy creativity?
* Will corporations that use AI try to take over the world?
* Will corporations that use AI make people poorer?

Because these LLMs and machine learning systems and so forth aren't just wandering around randomly out there - they're owned by corporations. The corporations are the ones putting them to use. The executives that run those corporations are the ones making the decisions to pay people less, to increase their profits, to make creative people act as subeditors for LLMs.

It's the corporations, and the ethics-free systems that govern them, that cause these things. They're the ones pushing to have more AI.

The rest of us would be happy just having a bit more humanity in the world.

Why: temp rise under 1.5C

What: zero emissions by 2050; capture CO2

How to get to zero: vote and donate to climate+ pols, electric or no car, trains not planes, clean electricity or home solar, low or no meat, buy climate+

How to capture: plant 500 billion trees

With Facebook's pivot away from news and Twitter's decay, media outlets return to digital media's foundational concepts of the early 2000s like homepage traffic (Max Tani/Semafor)
