Remember the hype about 3D tv’s? That’s AI now.

The difference is that 3D TVs were cool though

They didn't think that far. They just fired everyone and replaced them with Ai.

Yeah the thing that pisses me off the most is the wealthy elite only got wealthy because of the disposable income of a healthy middle class. Without that the whole system collapses. So striving for more and more wealth is only going to hurt everyone in the long run. The worst part is they will be the last to be hurt.

Alas, the world is ruled and has been ruled for many centuries by madmen, nothing can be done.

It's never supposed to take all the jobs I think. But to eliminate what jobs they can and skim the difference.

If AGI revolution happens at the hands of tech bros, the same people who have been advocating more kids will suddenly start saying less kids.

You'll just have to sell your organs and work double shifts in the mines in order to pay for all the times the AI screws up your food order.

They just have all the money, and charge you to extract infinite interest on all the assets they now control.

VC is buying up as much water rights and housing as it can by the way.

Just an unrelated detail.

In the boring real world, AI will not replace humans, it'll just make the existing humans more efficient. Efficiency is usually a good thing, although there needs to be a fight against letting all the profits go to the most powerful.

This must be a form of AI that hasn't been invented yet. I've yet to meet a useful implementation.

As a software developer, AI has made me ten times more efficient. Before AI I used to produce 2-5 new bugs per day of work...

Looks like someone is about to discover capitalist crises.

Most of us dead from climate change and famine. The rest slaves for the corpos, tend their fields and robot repair facilities or die.
