AI can widen the middle class, writes Henry Wu, but only if workers help write the rules. Promising jobs is not the same as building worker power.

this is nonsense, whoever the editor for this article is should be embarrassed the trump regime’s "AI" plan is not something you should be treating seriously. it has David Sacks as the "AI and crypto czar"! covering both destructive hype cycles! it is 100% a grift, you don't have to hand it to them

It's heads in asses all the way up... journalists' heads in politicians' asses, politicians' heads in CEOs' asses, CEOs' heads sharing tech-billionaires' asses with the tech billionaires' heads. No wonder the whole economy smells like shit.

Do you know what else widens the middle class? High taxes on the rich and corporations, unions, and universal social infrastructure like healthcare and public college.

AI can't even tell me how many R's are in strawberry. It can only hurt the middle class.

the fight to globally eradicate all gen AI is at the intersection of everyone's basic rights. from the invasive and totalitarian surveillance, to the theft of both labor & private data, to the destruction of human knowledge, to the militarized use of it, to the environmental and public health harm.

Liars. They hate workers, even when supporting workers benefits their bottom line.

AI will make the rich richer as they kill jobs to make number go up. There are specific uses for AI that make sense but that's not the goal. Make number go up, forever. Money money money money.

We need actual journalists, not people down on their knees in front of unzipped pants using A”I” to rewrite bullshit vomited up by these psychopaths. QUESTION EVERY CLAIM. ASK FOR BACKING DETAILS. QUESTION THE DETAILS.

Or we could just all collectively resist the MLM-like pressure to adopt these ersatz intelligence tools until the worst humans ever to exist lose existential amounts of money. Nothing marketed this desperately has ever been in the public interest to adopt.
