After my comment on "Concerned AI bros" I got a message that basically went: "Congrats, your article got some traction. We both know that you are just saying those things cause you are a contrarian and want to make money." And I hear that not often but sometimes so a quick reality check. - you don't get paid well to criticize tech. A few people might get to make it work but mostly the other side is the one with the money - my criticism has basically destroyed my opportunities to find a different job right now that aligns with my qualifications - A lot of the work I do is not paid at all but goes towards upskilling and informing unions and NGOs etc. - if I wanted to make money I'd do the "reasonable AI guideline" shtick. That one can at least pay. I just don't believe in it.
