Every technological advance creates winners and losers.
Have winners have ever cared much about the losers?

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/energy-transition-underway-fossil-fuel-113911143.html

But Luddites can get guns and fight back, for any
reactionary who offers unrealistic promises to restore

Technologists would often clean up their messes - more
than the organizations that hire them.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/article/opinion-clendaniel-oppenheimer-hanford-and-unintended-consequences/ar-AA1erXxa

Nuclear fission could help fight global warming, but the
politics of waste disposal seem unsolvable.  Generative AI
might be just as hard.

can kick the can down the road as well as anybody.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/21/solutions-lacking-national-debt-disaster/

No politician wants to advocate a solution.    Each wants
some other politician to advocate a solution the first
can criticize.

The epistemological crisis - if fakes become undetectable -
how can anybody tell whether anything is true?

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-ai-puts-elections-risk-and-needed-safeguards

They're in it for the money, right?    And dead people
generate very little revenue.
