Okay, but, devils advocate:

What if I'm a billionaire trying to crush the working class and accelerate climate change and political division so the class war doesn't pop off before i can get to my climate bunker?

Or a billionaire fascist who wants to sloppify everyone's brains and increase alienation while annihilating interiority so people will become docile and the class war won't pop off and we get the 1984 timeline?

Or a billionaire asshole who wanted to murder a concept and settled on 'truth'?

Or a really big 'infinite jest' fan?

So "ai" has a lot of use cases. Maybe dont be such a reflexive reactionary fucking Luddite piece of shit about it.

Just to point but...

Nothing is stopping that first billionaire to run to their climate bunker right now. It's currently way better than it will be during the disaster.

And making people dumber is an almost certain way to make them more violent too.

The odds are good some of them are thinking exactly like you pointed. But that would be because they are dumb.

Violent but not united against them.

We can dig up a bunker right now.

They're all some mixture of stupid and insane.
