Whenever you see technoligical skepticism, it’s almost always about its effects on the working class as used by the ruling class of the time. If for example you opened up a new public research agency for AI with the short term goal of developing open source AI and the long term promise to reduce the work week for all through AI productivity advancement, I think you’d get broad support.

Most people know they ain’t getting any of that profit and would instead be stuck with the layoffs and inequality, among other negative effects. And history tells us this is a well founded concern.
