For every person that uses AI to learn, there are one or more people that use it to avoid learning. The gap between people exacerbates. Some people are driven by curiosity, but they are the minority. The effect of AI is that the productivity of the few is multiplied by a higher number than the productivity of everyone else, from my anecdotal experience.

"Measuring productivity is fraught and imperfect" For the moment, but it's better than it's ever been, and it's getting better.

Yeah yeah, whatever, just make it work in the browser so I can do gRPC duplex streams, thank you very much.

As somebody that works for U.S. government and has witnessed tech-illiterate-but-somehow-still-in-charge-of-engineers bureaucrats getting bamboozled by tech companies first-hand more than once, I agree with you 100%.

Depends on how you define 'right'.

Were they conservative? No, they wanted to upend society and create one that is nothing like anything ever seen before. They were also anti-religion. In many ways, they were anti-tradition, and I wouldn't consider their obsession with bringing back dead traditions to be traditional.

Were they hateful, racist, etc.? Yes, up to you if that's considered 'right'.

Were they, like how American political parties are, friends of big business? Not really, they wanted to sponsor monopolies and whatnot but also wanted the businesses to have no influence over the state, rather the other way around, the state can force the big business to do what they want. As far as if it actually worked that way when they were in power, I'm not sure.
