> Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei routinely says that half of white collar jobs are going to disappear because of his technology. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, noted that “AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies.” And Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, said during an earnings call that “This is a revolution. Some people can get their heads cut off.” This is the sound of people who know they’re safe high up on the economic totem pole, safely out of physical harm’s way, and don’t need to care a shred about what the public thinks.

The question to me is when do people actually get angry and start changing the world in a way that improves the situation they are in?
