You would think "powerful companies made something that might kill us all" would be a natural position for leftists to entertain but it turns out "I'm smarter than everyone in tech and in principle they can never do anything interesting" is a more central belief for many of them

I love how my beat is so well-established that nobody asks why I'm not covering AI or Iran, but I've gotten like 10 comments asking why I've stayed suspiciously silent on the baby of color born with teeth who eats mice
