*That's* what it looks like when US elites care about something & want to advance it. That's the benchmark.

And with that benchmark in mind, we can ask, are they -- or were they ever -- similarly committed to climate or diversity?

LOL.

The bosses are forcing their employees to use it. Politicians are competing to shovel money & infrastructure at it. The billionaires who control media are constantly lecturing & hectoring people to accept it & use it more.

They don't care it's losing money. They don't care people hate it.

But the other piece of evidence -- the point of this thread -- is that we now have an example of what it looks like when US political & corporate elites *really are* obsessed with and committed to something.

Namely: AI.

I know many leftists who understand this, but I also know others who insist otherwise. Yes, we need class consciousness and solidarity. We also need to stand up for folks who are vulnerable and who become targets to ppl in power because of their identity. This isn’t negotiable
