only “ai takeover” that is going to happen is mass surveillance so billionaires can control us better, if we let them.
My profession has already largely disappeared thanks to AI. I’m not alone, either. Thousands of people are getting laid off each week. The surveillance is a fringe benefit compared to the savings that billionaires can achieve by replacing humans with machines.
It should be our savings, btw. Workers built every last bit of tech that is enabling this, billionaires just stole it.
Personally, I think the real target is ownership of cyberspace/ computing as a whole, with the workforce cuts and the surveillance as fringe benefits/ part of the world domination plan.
Buy out all the processors and memory for a couple years, and all the retail market will be left with is net books and phones that are essentially e-readers. No more saving your files on your computer or downloading programs, everything becomes cloud/ web based and they have access to it all.
Just as important as AI tracking our every move physically, it will be tracking everything we see and do digitally.
Middle manager? Yes-man?
No, I’m definitely not management material. If I was, I wouldn’t have been one of the people getting laid off.
