Comment on "AI is an attack from above on wages": An interview with cognitive scientist Hagen Blix

That would be somewhat OK if people could figure out to vote for taxing companies, high income and wealth.
And the redistribute so nobody goes hungry and has health care.

But as it is, wealth is accumulating more for the top 10% than ever.
All the advantages are given to the rich, the idea of leveling the playing field is passé.

Yup. Basically any kind of advancement in technology is instantly an attack on the working class because of our economic system.

Top 10% are useful idiots who get to live the “middle” class life.

Real money is all centralized with the people who actually own these mega corporations.

  Let’s say if you are near the top 10% then yes, that’s just about what middle class could be.

  Yes those are extreme, but basically it’s all above 10%, but you are absolutely right about the top 0.1%, it shouldn’t even be possible to be that rich.
