Quoting Cory Doctorow

Read Original

The article features a quote from Cory Doctorow criticizing the core economic promise of AI. He argues that the industry's growth story, as sold to investors, is predicated on AI displacing workers, allowing companies to pocket half the saved salary while paying the other half to AI firms. Doctorow warns this narrative drives risky investment and threatens financial security.
