Same billionaires are funding the campaigns of both parties. they keep winning no matter who gets elected.

It feels surreal to live among the gullible

Add to that, I have a hunch that a good chunk of people who are the most vocal against AI heavily use AI themselves. like game devs using ai to produce music, and musicians use AI to make posters, and novelists using AI to illustrate their works, many people call for solidarity against AI to save their professions while using AI to replace other professions.

I am one of the most haters on AI, but I two acknowledge that people are hypocrites on the internet
