I think one of the things that we're losing right now is an acknowledgement or an acceptance of any voices of opposition to the elites who are running the tech industry.

And it says, and you said, in any legitimate democracy.

And I'm beginning to wonder about a lot of the legitimacies of some of the countries that we may have held up as the great democracies.

And in particular, those, you know, I'm looking, I'm talking about the US, obviously, we've talked about the broligarchy on this before, where a lot of this has been driven out of and, you know, a lot of the AI has been driven from.

And I look at that and I look at the legitimacy of democracy there and the efforts that are being made to shut it down to a certain extent and the capacity in doing so to take opposition seriously.

So I absolutely agree with that, with the article or the author's perspective that the technology is really good, but there's a trade-off here and that we have to start bringing this public interest

this partnership with, with the populace into it.

And so there were all beneficiaries.

My concern is that the, the brody Garkey who are leading this have shown no appetite to share anything with anyone.

I know that you want to talk about this article, but and one of the things that I wanted to talk about today actually was along a similar vein, because I was reading something the other day on someone's sub stack and they talked about this psychological thing that we all have this kind of like a death wish and that some people.

in the elites are executing this at mass.

It's a long and complicated and very dark and dystopian article, but it made me think about the global sustainable development goals.

And a huge amount of the things that you're after referencing there from that article are also referenced in the global sustainable development goals around decent work,

and economic growth so that the distribution or the benefit, so that everybody, all the humans working, all the employees would have access to decent quality work.

So that's part of the sharing and the benefit.

Quality education, that's part of sharing and the benefit.

If we do AI properly, good health and wellbeing, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, the 17 sustainable development goals can either be supported or completely assaulted

by the adoption of technology.

And I am curious that we've got the technology on one side, sustainable growth,
