i think this is the other expression of the rationalist ai-paranoia-doomer brainworm: once you're done worrying about ai destroying the world (and ignoring climate change), you can start worrying about how we treat ai (and ignore how we treat fellow human beings). both ways a nice way to misdirect.

This is the "stock prices can be manipulated" part.
I think it's a mistake to focus on stock prices in this moment. As we've seen, stock prices can be manipulated, and don't represent the real economy. If the stock market were to reverse course are we going to start singing this administration praises?
