I agree with your first point but regarding your second: I’m as far left as it gets and I don’t think that’s true at all. Most of the influencers I follow despise AI and also are highly skeptical of the outrageous claims made by Sam Altman etc. The reality is that the need for things like universal health care exists today. Tens of millions of people can not get medical care in the US. Insurance companies are allowed to deny claims with no justification. That has nothing to do with AI taking jobs BUT it does involve AI because United Health’s denial rate went through the roof right after they started letting AI determine which claims were covered by policy with no human review. So people on the left are talking about AI in contexts that it doesn’t seem you’re aware of
