That same cohort were among my first students as a Massachusetts public school science educator. In the early 2000s there was a modest fraction of students that came from families denying the possibility that we could change climate. That fraction dwindled (or became mostly silent) over 25 years.

The fact that they’re targeting this demographic, it’s because they sense their vulnerability with it. That’s both good news and frightening. The petroleum industry has been very effective in the past.

Will they even give us UBI?

The problem with AI is the same as the problem with the internet, and America, and the planet—namely, it’s controlled by a tiny oligarchy and their systems of rapacious extraction.

Like the internet, AI could be an emancipatory technology if it was under a form of democratic control.
