Don’t expect anyone to come running to make things better for disabled people unless they think they can make a profit off of it.

Which, since all this AI bullshit is driven purely by the profit motive, means that you’re just as right to be wary of things that help the disabled from these AI companies as much as anything else.

Lots of companies have “helped the disabled” with specialized technological implants. Then when the company goes tits up, the people they’ve “helped” are left with slowly breaking implants and a fortune of a surgery to get the implant removed, since it no longer works or is supported.

Expect the same treatment from AI companies. Once you’re not profitable, they want you to get fucked.
