Why couldn’t we spend it on better quality of life? It would have real-world benefits.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

How does that help the owners of the western world continue to make exponential money, exactly?
The Goal at the very top is to wholly, or as much as they can, eliminate the lower classes and all they deem lesser and live in, ironically, fully automated luxury space communism. AI, theoretically, is a path to letting them do just that.
If AI doesn't work out their goal remains the same, and it's not improving your life if you turn out to be an essential 'lesser.'
AI doesn’t need to “work” in the sense that it does people’s jobs well. It just needs to work as an excuse to fire people and work as competition in the labour market. That way even if they can’t completely replace their workforce, they can at least pay them far less bc instead of paying an expert, they’re paying someone (with expert qualifications) minimum wage to be an “ai overseer.” Unless we elect leftist politicians that will actually pass worker protection laws then this will continue to happen and get worse and worse
It is like they watched all of the dystopian sci-fi from the last 40 years and decided "we should totally do that"
The answer is capitalism, that's why
The rich will be fine. It is the rest of us who will be fucked.
That’s why we really need to plan on eating a few. Maybe an Elon Musk meatloaf. 🤔
I know food shouldn't go to waste, but I don't think I could stomach that 🤢
You’re probably right, he would be the Cybertruck of meat.
Do we have to? Can't we just settle for a back alley shooting or something? I don't want to defile a perfectly good meatloaf with his Nazi ass.
We could always use him to fertilize a vineyard? 🤔
