Strategy positions

Near-term harms firstendorses

Documented present harms outweigh speculative existential narratives

Argues mainstream coverage of AI accepts industry framing too readily; pushes back on both x-risk and corporate techno-optimism in favour of focus on labour, environment, and material costs.

Both AI doomers and AI accelerationists want you to believe the technology is more capable than it is. The first sells regulation, the second sells stock. Neither is talking about what AI actually does to workers and the environment.
