> How do you reconcile your thoughts with what the CEOs of these AI companies keep telling us? I.e. "the present is the most amazing time to be alive", and "the future will be unimaginably better". I'm paraphrasing, but it's the gist of what Sam Altman recently said at the World Government Summit[1].

Three ways:

* It's the job of CEOs to advocate the benefits of what they're doing.

* Those things might be true, for them.

* Those things might be true, from a global perspective, even if there are some people who are worse off. White-collar workers might just be those people worse off.
