It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.

These tech & oil oligarchs aren't "philanthropists"
They're people abusing tax laws about charitable giving for their own self-enrichment & political power
https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/business/bill-gates-climate-change
Most of all it's a flight of capital & money laundering as the industry cashes in its chips
Trump uses extortionate tariffs to bully countries to switch to his donors' fossil fuel supply.

The most corrupt industry on the planet is hoping to get their money out before the bubble bursts and the value of their fossil fuel assets collapses.
The switch to renewable energy is inevitable because it's cheaper, more robust, & better for us all.

There's very very few productive use cases for AI.

Humans would have had trouble matching that speed & humans would have had their analysis suppressed in a world where Larry Ellison owns the news.

I struggle to find any other "common good" use cases for AI.

@eff@mastodon.social I have an iPhone I use a a standalone device to manage my insulin pump as a type 1 diabetic. I have very few other apps installed on that device and lockdown mode is enabled because I want to minimize the risk that a device with a drug could kill me being hacked into. No security is perfect but it provides some additional security protections that might help! I wish something similar was available for my Google Pixel device.
