So the issue isn't AI, it's AI in a capitalist world
replyEven simpler. The issue is capitalism.
replyArguably, I think AI would not even exist without capitalism because it's only the arms-race scenario that has made it somewhat viable. Otherwise we wouldn't be foolish enough to waste energy on this shit.

replyWhen Jane Goodall died last year it was international news. She was a celebrity scientist for sure, I think she even made an appearance in The Simpsons. Ditto Stephen Hawking.
I have no idea who she was.
replyInternational news doesn’t mean much - the vast majority of people don’t consume news the way you think - I highly doubt the vast majority had any awareness.
I think there may be a few other basic things you're not aware of either.
