I mean that pretty much does align with cultural change. Techno-optimism when it was popular was a liberal phenomenon more than a conservative one, hell it’s where a lot of the stereotypes about liberals come from (conservatives never update their image about anything)

Now barely anybody is a techno-optimist and the few that are, agree with the neofeudal shit that they started saying out loud. And even then I think techno-optimists make up a minority of right wingers.

So what Sam Altman is suggesting the part of socialism that makes people fear it (extreme utilitarianism run by falliable if not biased leaders) without the part that makes people support it (a more equitable distribution of wealth that makes sure everyone’s needs are met and the removal of an influential class that perpetuates undesirable and unnecessary conditions for their own personal gain.)

Demonizing male gender nonconformity isn’t great either.
