From a societal perspective, AI is a means to transfer wealth from employees to AI vendors. Only 2 small problems: 1) Employees are slowly catching on to the scheme. 2) AI doesn't buy the products that AI produces. Basically, AI is capitalism gone wild. The obvious antidote is socialism --- the forced sharing of the wealth that AI is intended to accumulate and concentrate.

thats what, like 5 people? Instead of doing what capitalists and fascists do, should we just like humanize them? Point out there's like 5 people who are amassing so much power (eg, if a bank loans you a few billions, that's the banks problem) that they're scared?

Incentives and consequences mold society. The extreme rich have a near monopoly on the incentives that create government policy via their economic power. They're above the law. Using whatever means the public has to impose consequences on them is all that's left over. A rapist is the president they rallied behind. They should be afraid.
