On explanation of AI as a philosophy: > "AI" is best understood as a political and social ideology rather than as a basket of algorithms. The core of the ideology is that a suite of technologies, designed by a small technical elite, can and should become autonomous from and eventually replace, rather than complement, not just individual humans but much of humanity. On economical and social damage: The article mentions that less than 10 percent of the US workforce is counted as employed by the technology sector, that essential contributions of others aren't counted as "work" or compensated, that this has "hollowed out" the economy and contributed to the concentration of wealth in an elite, and that this has contributed to concentrating power, as well. On mutual exclusivity: The article proposes paying people for contributions, rather than writing them off as non-work. It also mentions humans with "AI resources" outperforming AI alone.
