Yah even "disruption" in tech has been captured by the rich. Nothing shakes up the established order unless it's taking from someone who has less to give to someone who already has too much.

"Electric Vehicles? I don't know, we need to go very slowly, and then consider how disruptive this technology is to the economy. A lot of big companies might not be able to divest quickly enough...... (etc)"

then cut to LLMs and it's like

"AI is here to stay. You can't put the genie back in the bottle (or stop spending billions and billions of dollars desperately pushing the technology into every crevasse). We're literally incapable of acting ethically if it contradicts with short term profits. Business = nature, we're just following an evolutionary maxim — our hands are actually tied! Look, fascism and endless war are just good for business, I don't make the rules (bribes government to make rules for them)......"

It's actually deplorable, and it's lead to a more impoverished future for everyone.
