Part of me feels that some of the anti-gun news coverage and concerns are driven by the concerns of the super wealthy.
I have no data to back this concern, but I feel with all their money and all the think tank they're financially backing there is a probably some prediction of the impact of AI into future employment and the growing inequality divide.
If you're super wealthy, the last thing you want is a large disenfranchised population without much prospect and sense of purpose in life with guns in their hands.

- samsonradu 9y agoWould it be a good idea to use the term technology instead of AI? There are so many current jobs that will be replaced by pure technological progress (manufacturing jobs, cashiers, cleaners, low-entry banking employees, even drivers). The term AI reads like something amazing (singularity) has to happen for jobs to go away.
