(indeed the politics of our era is moving towards greater acceptance of inequality)
How certain are you of this, and how much do you think it comes down more to something like “to what extent can disempowered groups unionise against the elite?”.
To be clear, by default I think AI will make unionising against the more powerful harder, but it might depend on the governance structure. Maybe if we are really careful, we can get something closer to “Direct Democracy”, where individual preferences actually matter more!
I am focused here on short-term politics in the US, which ordinarily would matter less, if it wasn’t likely that world-changing AI would be built in the US, but given that it might, it becomes way more important than normal.
