“The AI promoters have made grand promises about how AI will change everything and give us all happier, healthier lives. Maybe that will be proven right, but it’s fair to say they have not yet delivered. However, AI workers may have the power to do something very important in the present, not some distant or not so distant future. They can save democracy. Their route to saving democracy is by not doing AI, or at least not doing AI with their current employers.” (01/19/26)
