Indeed, and this article was a bit frustrating... they are skipping / seem to be oblivious to the context where the "zeroth contact with AI" likely already happened with the creation of the limited liability company, we are seeing particularly metastasized forms of which these days. Especially since the outlines of this have been predicted more than half a century ago already, by philosophers analyzing the then still young consumer (advertising) based capitalism. With its lack of limits and growth at all costs imperative. We've even had art made about it, after the intensification of the phenomenon in the neoliberal 80s, for instance the whole cyberpunk genre. (And while these issues that the article talks about are still somewhat speculative (at least in intensity) unless you live somewhere like Burma, we've already seen much more dire consequences of this starting to show up in resource depletion and climate change.) (Yet they should know all that, they insist on incentives after all, right ?!)
