my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

I was very fortunate the sports I played in elementary through college were all not considered to be viable career paths. Because I knew that Folkstyle Wrestling would never get me a paycheck, I was able to focus on the fact that I loved the sport, not that there was an expectation to go pro.

That's where a lot of the anxiety about trans athletes comes from. Parents think their kid is gonna make the WNBA or NWSL or make a bunch of NIL money or whatever, and they think trans athletes are "stealing" that from their kid. But that's the thing, most people don't, trans athletes or no.
