She's not just saying that the wealthy are trying to seize control — she also discusses how they're leveraging the rhetoric of inevitable AI in order to build the foundations for future control. Significantly, she identifies this attempt as being driven by anxiety that the wealthy feel about their future control, and discusses strategies for resisting that.

What she's saying is far from obvious; I've seen so many anti-AI, anti-capitalist folk unwittingly perpetuating the rhetorical agenda of the wealthy by accepting the notion that a society ran by super advanced AI is inevitable.

    Yeah I call bullshit on that.

    Automation is inevitable, doesn’t mean decision making will be.

    Having fully automated factory that churns out 100 cars a day is not dystopian if you can have people able to configure that number.

    The dystopian part is having only a few with “admin access”.
