This is the crux of the AI issue, and which leads us to what, I think, is a more useful question than "are you for or against AI?"
Namely: Are you for or against this new version of the concentration of capital plus its dispossession of human labour?

4. What we do have is a choice between a world in which concentrated capital takes yet one further step along the path of the industrial revolution, appropriating and mechanizing the knowledge that currently resides within labor, as with the Jacquard loom.

the year is 2045. no one can run local models because consumer GPU market has not existed for a decade and wages collapsed when Economics 2.0 appeared. you can rent compute from hyperscalers, but a Nanny LLM is between you and every command. your bank, paypal, denies all charges to Google Cloud.

ditching adobe is really hard when every alternative is either Flunkly™️ which is *almost* feature complete except for that one thing you do in Photoshop every single day or G.R.O.N.K., a FOSS app with the worst fucking UX you have ever seen in your life and no support for JPEGs for ethical reasons

seeing a machine do something that you previously thought was unique to your cognition, and opening up that capability to anyone, is to many people a deep narcissistic injury. this explains much about the social environment

Zootopia 2 avoided being a copaganda.
All in all the story is actually coherent and satisfying. Though, the twist villain seems... forced to me.

This is like the UBI study in that we've done it, like, five times and no one gives a shit because the people who are passing legislation against trans people don't actually care about trans suicide, they like trans suicide, they want it to happen
"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."
"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."
"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

In broader terms, and this is true from data, the sense that technological progress will take away what you already have is a first world neurosis of fear of losing privileges in first world societies. In developing countries, the sense is the inverse.

a free society allows a suspected terrorist or criminal freedom of speech, religion, fair trial, etc
but payment processor regulations and debanking deny anyone suspected of any supposedly "wrong" act the ability to use money for anything
it is a form of extrajudicial financial execution

leftists running into straight into heavy handed KYC and other money transmittal regulations have a wonderful opportunity to learn about the philosophical reasoning behind crypto
