alt Hacker NewsThe explicit and overt messaging from AI companies in the West is directly and loudly claiming their goal is to put people out of work.
In a society where we've normalized "wage slave or death by starvation", yeah, you're gonna get backlash.

Not just a society - the whole world is like that by default.

Your post implies that these things don't apply outside of the west but I don't see how they don't equally apply everywhere.
Also, is it abnormal that if you don't do work you can't eat? That seems like a pretty fundamental truth of life on earth.

I think you hit the nail on the head. In a winner take most society why would you expect the masses to embrace a technology that makes them losers?
