The elites chase the money. It's definitional.

Rapidly emerging profitable technologies create fortunes and the elites chase the fortunes. There's no conceptual difference between the iPhone and the steam engine or steel mill in this regard.

Why do we keep providing such unskilled grifters so much influence over human agency?

Such classist BS exploits manual labor.

We’re just perpetuating empowering the lazy. It makes the screeching about social programs seem hilarious since being a bank CEO is not biology sustaining work. It’s historical barnacle. History we hallucinate since we were never there. We’re more like LLMs than we want to admit

Elites? I think our definitions vary widely here.

In the context of career choice, I mean the children of wealthy and powerful families and/or those graduating from our most prestigious preparatory institutions.

Is there some other definition?

You think this is only about powerful families’ kids? I think the article is clickbait personally, but that wasn’t my take at all.
