THE PEOPLE DO NOT YEARN FOR AUTOMATION Highlight

If you want to meaningfully oppose AI in a way that lasts, you should speak loudly with your dollars in the market and your attention on the internet, and you should speak loudly with your votes. You should participate in the democratic regulatory and political process. Anything else will get dismissed and perpetuate the cycle. That dismissal is already happening.

I also think it’s incredibly important for our politicians and tech executives to make sure our political process makes people feel empowered, not helpless, which is a specific kind of nihilism they have all greatly contributed to. The violence is a result of that helplessness and nihilism, and the most powerful people in our society ought to reckon with that, especially as they run around saying AI will wipe out all the jobs.
