If you think that AI only benefits shareholders then you're the one with exceptional short term vision.

Broadening access to AI will massively benefit all humans



In the socioeconomic utopia we'll build in the meantime?


In the fact that AI is the only realistic path we have of providing every human being on the planet with the best health care and education.


Technical solutions for societal issues don't have the best track record. Providing healthcare and education to everyone needs the right incentives, not technology that could theoretically help if greed spontaneously ceased to exist.


Your healthcare depends mostly on a solid foundation of technology. Otherwise everyone can have full access to all the witch doctors.


That "foundation of technology" requires a more basic foundation that makes the technology accessible. If an unemployed person in the US can only afford a witch doctor that's not a technical problem.


> Otherwise everyone can have full access to all the witch doctors

In spite of capitalism.


Are we not solving that with this whole web thing?


what's the point in education if the AI does everything?

all employment, music, art, ...


> In the fact

Just straight up not a fact.


> If you think that AI only benefits shareholders then you're the one with exceptional short term vision.

You can't be so blind to history that you truly believe this, our present day is filled with examples of this not being true. You can directly look at literally any medical achievement that corporations own.
