Unfortunately tech bros benefit from this. They make money on multiple layers. OpenAI and its owners get money from Sora, Musk gets money from X. And of course MAGA benefits from these guys as well so I can't see anything changing anytime soon.

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

Talousnobelisti Deaton esitti kritiikkinsä IMF:n blogissa. Yksi keskeinen ongelma on ekonomistien jopa vihamielinen suhtautuminen ammattiliittoihin, vaikka ammattiliittoja tarvittaisiin juuri nyt tasapainottamaan elinkeinoelämän kasvanutta valtaa.
