Shift to China or Venezuela

So those who stand up for "liberal democratic values" but think for themselves about technology on a case by case basis are not invited to the party?

about 5 of us

Can't say if Elon Musk is one these days or not

I actually kind of disagree. I think there's a lot of crossover between doomerism and illiberalism. In fact, I think they reinforce each other. If you're a techno-pessimist, you have a stronger incentive to use state power to prevent tech from ruining everything.

Ok

maybe you should quit or be sacked. people say gpt-3 is "tricks". we were promised real world ai not "tricks". we want to get to agi fast. lying does this purpose no service

It's capitalism vs socialism. Democracy leads gradually to socialism. So whatever leads to more free market capitalism

Hard core both. Liberal democracies have the power to evolve, encouraging technology that redefines boundaries / culture. Other structures tend to resist change because it is disruptive to the established power structure.

Values is a mutable trait. Especially among techo-optimists with large net worth.
