I recently decided to move back to Europe from California. I've got many reasons for the choice; I can share one. The dread of this kind of future makes me want to live in a place where wealth redistribution is (more of) a core societal value. I hope we can take a better approach here. (4/4)

When a company offloads customer service or advertisement to AI, when you choose self driving Waymo over Uber, when an editor fires their copywriters or a company their software engineers... There is no expectation that the product gets cheaper. But now, the same money can go up the chain. (3/4)

While AI might improve "efficiency", things are not going to cost less in the current system, despite fewer people being involved and the quality of the product lowering to the "barely acceptable" level. It's happening everywhere. (2/4)
