The political right hates AI a little less than the left, but not by super much, and some forces from the emerging America First movement are getting ready to protest AI’s invasiveness and capacity for manipulation. The org is called Humans First, and they’re trying to have a 50501-style nationwide protest about it on July 18th. If both sides cooperate on this one, good things can actually happen, so this should get talked about. A lot. https://www.humansfirst.com/

    Conservatives categorically lack the brain capacity to consider others, never mind put them first.

      Seems more like a lack of empathy than brain capacity. Moral and intellectual defects are not the same.

        Actually there’s a fair amount of emerging neuroscience that shows that the brains of people with conservatives worldviews have lowered activity in the regions that process empathy, lowered activity in the regions that engage and resolve conflicts , and biased towards feeling threatened in a safe situation.
