Full disclosure: I had AI summarize this for me, which feels fair given the length. ;) Totally agree that AI’s effects on labor, trust, agency, reality, and human connection are shaped by design choices, business models, and institutions, and we can’t wait until those choices harden into infrastructure.
The thing we all need to focus on: what actually turns broad moral concern into accountability while these systems are still being built?
Vision! Moral concerns without vision just harden into unresolvable counterpositions. We need a contest between positive agendas for the future with clear applications of AI to improve people’s lives - so people have the opportunity to vote for solutions rather than having them imposed.

Yes, but you can have the vision and still build the wrong thing if the incentives are off. Users demanding better is a big piece of the shift.
