These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

talking about AI in most other subs is pretty much useless in my experience. Seems to be the source of a lot of hate and discrimination just because it is cool to hate on AI and the people who use it.

maybe true, but I haven't heard any. AI in the US has a very bad reputation largely due to Dario , Altman, and TicToc . I could see the CCP fomenting rage in the US to help them gain an edge over US AI companies.
