Reading stuff like this, I mentally recoil from the tone of self-righteous moral outrage. The ethical issues around AI don't seem any different than the rest of modern capitalism. But things like industrialised farming, manufacturing, fossil fuels, chemical production, etc. don't seem to generate anything close to the quasi-religious fervour that hating AI inspires in certain people.

It's difficult to escape the conclusion that the difference is that the harm from those other industries mostly accrues to the poor and the working class, whereas AI is threatening the livelihoods of rich, educated westerners who thought their social status insulated them from economic shocks like this.
