That's not cynicism, that's an accurate understanding of how Western capitalist democracies have worked for decades.

It's great it can do that. But it in no way justifies the social and environmental costs of AI, which is the point of the article.

You are misunderstanding basic political terminology then, if you think it's somehow odd that leftists are against Democrats. Democrats and Republicans are both capitalists and liberal in the classical sense, both of which leftists oppose.

Nope. They know their business model is not sustainable, so they are trying to prop it up before their IPOs.

> I believe he truly has humanity's best interests at heart

How can you possibly believe this? What else would someone in his position say? No billionaire has humanity's interest at heart, so they try to hide that fact by building libraries (Carnegie) or creating foundations named after themselves.

All of his words and none of his actions support his caring at all about humanity, and you choose to believe his words? The man has an IPO coming up (probably one of the biggest ever!), he could not be in a less trustworthy position.

What a ridiculous analogy to make.
