        No-one consumes the anti-hopium like the C-suite. They already think they’re above the plebes, and that dehumanization went through “them before us” and now is at “their pain for our benefit”. They’re only one step away from “This was Steve in R&D? He’s delicious with the mesquite.”

      Rich people, by and large, incredibly stupid and narcissistic. They do not have the intelligence to understand how awful Ai is and they are easily duped by the promise that it will a) do their jobs for them and b) suck them off over how “smart” they are for asking basic questions the whole time.
