A problem with Affirmative Action discussions that leave us perpetually on our heels is that we accept a framing that disregards the fact that it is our current status quo that provides unearned opportunities to unqualified people.

Just look at all the mediocre mfs in charge. How they get there?

AI gives people without artistic skills ability to represent their ideas.
AI art isn't different from other forms of automation, automation replaces human workers.
We need basic income to avoid economic catastrophe.
There are no jobs that can't be replaced with technology.
