It's simple: AI threatens jobs/careers and paychecks. And, we've built an entire society that requires you to have a paycheck just to live. So, of course people are going to boo AI.
When the jobs went offshore, all the Republicans and union democrats made this argument. And now Trump is supposedly an asshole for reshoring, bc a) those jobs that were lost are now shit jobs, and b) the productivity we lose reshoring isn't worth it.
You see the jobs leaving the same way republicans saw jobs leaving
They're so used to all of their sycophants around them clapping like seals at everything they say, they can't even begin to understand why other people wouldn't like what they're pushing
We can't be rid of them soon enough
s/execs/kids
The sooner that scum like that can be recognized and shunned from society, the better
Why is it that all of these bigheaded corpo type people react to "anti-AI" sentiments with this strongman crap?
Are they surprised that people, especially young people who are going to head into the world to try to make their way, are NOT supportive of the idea they'll just be eternal slaves, or even unemployed nuisances, to feudal lords?
The whole fucking point of this system is for it to support people. "They" need to remember that or they're going to be reminded of it. Capitalism was cool as an evolutionary step but it's pretty fucking clear we're going to need another innovation here sometime soon.

An AI Hate Wave Is Here
High taxes on the wealthy, high social spending for all, lower business regulations, lower wealth inequality, and high labor market flexibility.

- better safety nets paid through higher taxes and closing down loopholes (such as buybacks)
- stronger regulatory enforcement to reduce the power of monopolies / monopsonies
- stricter rules around tax-payer investments / subsidies into companies (sure SpaceX gets to have billions to shore up our competitiveness but there must be a mechanism for the tax payer to have board representation)
etc. etc.
The list goes on. Honestly it doesn't take a lot (besides political will and escaping the capture of Citizens United) to move the needle so that the median income or bottom 10th percentile lifestyle meaningfully improves while we no longer have wealth horded to the level of having centibillionaires.
It does require a government that operates with much less corruption than we have, so it is more idealistic than not, but very easy to imagine.
Well your other options are Marxism or Star Trek replicators. I'd choose the latter.
Stinks of "let them eat cake"
It's an extremely similar sort of arrogance
