The Rollup(@therollupco):Michael J Casey (@mikejcasey) explains why the "AI superseding humans" argument is the most elitist take in tech: "Calling someone a speciesist for advocating that humans should benefit from AI, that's elitist privilege." "Ask the 8 billion people on earth what they think. Have a democratic election. Whether they're informed, whether they understand the technology, they're all going to say the same thing." "The humans are going to be on their side. And if we believe in the humanity we're living and breathing with right now, we should listen to what that humanity wants."
