Uber was subsidized by venture capital to operate at a loss with a cheap service so as to break labor, legislation, the transit industry. Same w/ AirBnB, Netflix etc. What is AI trying to break by operating at a loss? What do they need to diminish the quality of so as to make opting out unpleasant?

A good thread, but let's be clear, this isn't just a movement "with" elite leaders, it is a movement largely *created* by elite leaders, based on false premises and a lot of pettiness. The issue isn't "yokels" or stupidity, but selfishness and dogmatic ideology.
