I am trying to think of AI from a standard corporate accountability perspective and I found this line from the safety policy employee who quit to be the most succinct explanation of the concern. it doesn't need you to buy into any sci-fi narratives. it's all about scale/scope:

Read about an arrest in my home state, guy with my great-great-grandfather’s name, for child sexual abuse. Tons of descendants, no idea which branch he’s from. Was thinking he’d dishonored the name, but then realized I have no idea what kind of man my ancestor was. And, you know, odds aren’t great.

Something I learned just this week: "only 4% of the world’s women and girls live in the U.S., but the U.S. confines ONE-QUARTER of the world’s incarcerated women and girls." www.prisonpolicy.org/global/women...
a chart from Prison Policy comparing states' incarceration rates of women to the other countries' rates.
it shows about 20 states who incarcerate women at a higher rate than even the most incarceration-friendly countries (el salvador, dem. rep. of congo, thailand). three states - south dakota, montana and idaho - incarcerate women at a higher rate than the country of El Salvador.

News clipping with picture of a man captioned Woody Guthrie and text: Woody Guthrie is an irresponsible hobo, oil  field " roustabout, “wobbly." and so-called Troubador of the Dust Bowl. He sings stories about his travels and experiences, minstrel style, accompanying himself on the guitar. In recent years he has had a vogue, being talked up by young pinks and others who know nothing of the dust bowl, oil fields...

preaching to the choir here but go thank your local library workers. preferably by joining a friends group or your library board / trustees and by reminding your elected officials over and over and over and over again to fund and tangibly support the library.
A gentleman who had retired needed to go back to work. He did not have email, didn’t have a phone, but knew he wanted to be a part-time cart pusher at Walmart because he could walk there and it would supplement his Social Security income. He came in and we worked with him one day a week for about an hour.

He would come back every now and again to check his email and then he stopped showing up. I went three, four months not knowing what happened to him. Then I went to Walmart one day and saw him pushing carts. He called me over and said, Hey, I got the job. I think that shows how necessary library work is, how we’re keeping the societal safety net together as it’s fraying apart.
