> Instead of assuming evil intent, assume ignorance. Make convincing arguments, highlight the suffering, offer possible solutions - these are the actions that likely lead to improvement. I'll be real: the actions that are likely to lead to improvement are buying Congressmen, and I don't have the money. The AI crowd does, and they are positioning themselves to collect ever more of it. If they are in fact Actually Worried about the people downrange of their guns, why is the onus on everybody else? Why are you implicitly holding that normal people are unreasonable for not wanting to be fed into the gears and that it's not the gear-owners' responsibility to not feed people into them? Don't misunderstand me--I can do a lot of stuff, both tech and not. I'm reasonably confident I'll be fine regardless; if push came to shove, I can enter my disappear-into-the-woods arc. I'm not going to begrudge those who can't refusing to go quietly, and frankly, you shouldn't either. I think you know as well as I do that this crowd isn't looking to talk to the people they seek to grind to dust. They don't think they matter, and if you seriously thought otherwise you'd have answered with examples. Discussion is a luxury afforded only when all parties are going to be okay at the end of the day. You are, for lack of a better term, tone-policing the scared and the harmed on behalf of the wealthy and the harming. And you are clearly more capable of insight than that.
