Daron Acemoglu wrote in Prospect magazine that AI can be pro-worker and help cure cancer but only if we focus on domain-specific models. The magazine just printed my letter refuting his claims and his backward-looking embrace of thoughtless tech. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/views/letters/70471/letters-augustseptember-2025

@danmcquillan thank you so much for fighting back against this narrative and refuting its claims! I have a lot of appreciation for momentsof reckoning like these because those who firmly stand on principle have the most to lose, in terms of reputation and being pushed to the side.
@catileptic Hi Alex, thanks for your affirming comments. In solidarity.
