There have to be other ways to talk about political community inside nation-states without invoking nationalism. How about collective responsibility to those whom we share nothing in common with beyond the sanctity of life and geography? Let’s take the opportunity to invent new social relations.

We don’t say that “AI is fake and it sucks” instead of “AI is real and dangerous”, we say it’s fake (the hype, vs what it actually does), it sucks (at living up to the hype), it’s real (it has real-world impact through its use) and it’s dangerous (much of that impact is harmful).
