moonsandhues · x · 2026-10-03
A reposted take argues X's AI discourse skews toward capital owners rather than artists: the more AI can do, the more leverage capital gains as labor loses. The 'other side' is absent because creatives are priced out of SF, live on Instagram instead of X, and a deep ideological divide separates technologists from creatives. People who see both sides are valuable messengers.
