“Maybe the intelligence we most need is the capacity to see beyond the hierarchies that determine which knowledge counts. Without that foundation, regardless of the hundreds of billions we pour into developing superintelligence, we’ll keep erasing knowledge systems that took generations to develop.”

People say AI has no business model; but tbh I think part of the business model is getting people so hooked on it by the means of cooking their brains alive, that they then will pay any price to even function in everyday life.

Rent your basic life skills.
I know it sounds boomerish, but I'm terrified of AI. People getting dumber by becoming overly reliant on it for thinking and expression, the weird AI psychosis. I can already feel the negative impact of addictive short-form content on me. I've never used Chat-GPT etc and hopefully never will.

2. Cultivate empathy. One way authoritarians defeat democracy is by trying to destroy empathy. Their strategies depend on dehumanization, demonization, and division. One of the best ways to resist is to actively cultivate empathy. Democracy depends on empathy.
