Disruption, by definition, has winners and losers and the losers tend to be more visible, more vocal, and more immediate than the winners.

Who do you imagine the winners and losers will be? To the extent AI is useful and disruptive, it's best utilized by people with capital. Which is to say, the winners are few and the losers are everybody else. In this case, the losers aren't just more vocal, they're louder and more visible because they're much more numerous.

We're talking about an entire generation being impoverished and powerless, and the response from people like you and Schmidt is a dismissive "winners and losers". If this is the whole plan from AI evangelists be prepared for a heck of a lot more blowback.

If you care about society and this technology reaching its potential I hope you find your way to "yes" on giving a shit about other people.

Who are the winners? Where's the profitable billion dollar industry?
