>Artists, musicians, writers, etc are already not happy with the CURRENT tools and I think they’re gonna have a lot more professions joining their ranks soon

'creatives' have been upset every time new tools have come out

Because democratizing access makes artisans's jobs different (not harder, not easier, just different)

Oh, you're definitely not wrong. But what I'm trying to say is that the current backlash by these creatives is going to look VERY different once other professions get disrupted. Especially legal. There are going to be a lot of pissed off lawyers out there and you can bet your ass that at least some of them are gonna try to use the legal system to implement Yudkowski's vision.
