Putting "wealth inequality" in the same bucket as nuclear weapons is just slop.

The OP is talking about existential threats, not things that personally annoy you.

I think you misunderstand what is meant by 'wealth inequality.' Wealth inequality is about the imbalance of influence and the concentration of power; where influence and power refer to the ability to effect change in other people's lives. This isn't a personal annoyance of mine. It is, in fact, part of the issue at hand. There is a strong financial incentive to ignore the existential threats introduced by LLMs, despite the consequences for so many of us.

It's not a "personal annoyance" that twelve people control half of the wealth in the world. Our current society did a better job concentrating power than any previous one, and concentrated power is extremely dangerous.

I don’t think you’ve fully considered what can happen when concentration of wealth continues past a certain point.

Not at all. Concentration of power has historically been extremely dangerous for the powerless.

Tell that to Tsar Nicholas.

lmao wtf

Calling things you disagree with "slop" is slop /s

But just in case you haven't noticed, we live in a world where a ridiculously wealthy minority can derail whole countries by ther whims. Wealth concentrating on a single select few is an absolute disaster for the rest of us, because we lose power to them.

Yeah, wealth inequality rests solely on each individual that experiences it. Humans should do nothing but give me money and if you can't that's your problem.
