"The history of literacy is the history of class.
AI has given the American ruling class the final impetus to more or less abolish education.
The elites are ecstatic about imagining a vast, uneducated, and unproductive population forced to pay companies like OpenAI to access the written word and to approximate thought; with the unemployed illiterate and addicted to screens, they are unlikely to be politicized and join a socialist campaign."
