tech execs just want to build tech and do business and will dismiss the societal and safety implications of their building tech and doing business with bad people. it's lazy, bullshit and dangerous. i'm sure i'm not the only person to hear "we don't want to be the morality police" from leadership

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity
We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.
AI can help us do that.

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.
