The provided article by Greg Twemlow discusses the societal implications of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the context of capitalism. Twemlow references AI "godfather" Geoffrey Hinton's predictions of widespread job displacement due to AI but argues that Hinton's focus on "rich people" misses the deeper issue: capitalism's inherent drive to replace human labour with cheaper AI for increased profits.
