Interesting article about confronting the AI devolution with a handful of principles:

  • Dignity
  • pluralism
  • Transparency
  • Agency
  • Design

Like other tech-utopianists, the author (Gary Grossman) fails to address the shareholder-obsessed, monopolistic, enshitified, platformic, regulationless, late-phase feudalistic capitalism that dominates American government.

When we reach that (neo-medieval?) destination that AI adoption is drifting us towards, Grossman’s article will serve as yet-another I-told-ya-so artifact of our collective naivete and dread while on the The Drift.
