AI Verified Quote verbatim verified via web search. The exact text "a vague signifier for a technology that will somehow lead to endless abundance for humankind" appears in the June 2025 article "The Myth of AGI" by Alex Hanna and Emily M. Bender on TechPolicy.Press (the cited source_url). Alex Hanna is the Director of Research at DAIR Institute, an AI sociologist and co-author of "The AI Con" (2025). Source URL was 403-blocked from WebFetch but confirmed via search. Vote alignment "against" matches the statement "AGI will create abundance" — Hanna is sharply critical of the abundance narrative. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 4d ago
