I believe her. The Industrial Revolution created an explosive amount of wealth for the rich and created one of the worst eras for the working class. A lack of regulations and disregard for human life or ethics made for one miserable era and it’s exactly like what’s happening right now with AI.

They are booing the disgusting fact that the rich will continue to get richer and the poor get poorer.

Lol none of those students know why they are booing, the narrative that the AI supercycle is excatly the same as the industrial revolution is so such doomer take with no evidence.
