Edit: There’s a lot of people in the comment section who clearly didn’t read the article so let me clarify that no, this is not about Judge Aileen Cannon. Read. The. Damn. Article.

    The thing I worry about is how much more angry some Americans will become as AI starts to really eat up the jobs. The radicalized far right wing has already painted Big Tech as somehow liberal/leftist (lol) because they are being “censored” on platforms like pre-Xitter Twitter or Facebook.

    Imagine how they’ll react when it becomes obvious that “Big Tech” has come/is coming for their jobs. I fear people that were unradicalized before may suddenly be thrown into despair with lots of time on their hands, and the usual suspects giving them easy “answers” as to the cause. You just know that DEI, “woke”, and Biden’s hard drive, oops, I mean, “laptop” will be the kinds of things blamed for it.

      AI is 95% hype, so it won’t happen especially not for the kind of jobs they like and are capable of. But then again just instilling the fear in them is probably enough.
