Neither are the billionaires and their deputies who both own and run all the megacorps.
99% of the current AI push is entirely anti-hacker ethos. It is a race to consolidate control of the world's computing and its economic surplus to ~5 organizations.
A few people do interesting stuff on the edges of this, but the rest of the work in it is anathema to hacker values.
