Neither. The oligarchy and military industrial complex are all in on AI and the economies of the Western world are already existentially tied to AI. Any political party advocating anything less than aggressive AI maximalism would be committing political suicide, akin to jumping out of an already runaway train. It doesn't matter what the people want. Left-populism (which common sentiment against AI would be, since AI serves the interests of capitalism) has no tacit reality in American politics, only right-populism has any power.

  Yes. American politics and capitalism are no longer capable of thinking beyond the next term or the next quarter. The ones running the grift expect to be sunning themselves on a private island with a mountain of cocaine and a harem of CIA supplied fuckboys before everything collapses.
