And yet, every time these fears are brought up with AI people, they are dismissed as Luddite hyperbole.

“We’re saving the world” they say. With zero regard for second order effects, or with arrogant dismissal of those effects as worth it for the first order gains.

Disgusting to watch unfold.

You’ve described Capitalism itself fairly well here, so I’m not sure why this would be surprising. Anything made subject to the profit motive will follow this exact same course.
