I see that 4chan has got as far as recognising the dichotomy between short-term and long-term gratification. They are evolving faster than I thought possible. Perhaps by 2050 they’ll have advanced as far as common courtesy. Well you never know.
Anon doesn't like AI

It’s like when horses were replaced by automobiles. the economy kept going, just maybe with more glue and less oats.

They’re trying to pivot to world domination.
I’m not kidding. -_-

They also want us all to work in low Earth orbit. Check out Blue Horizons’ website.

technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
They’ve already made a shitload of money. Now they’re consolidating into violent political control.
And when bubble pops, the rich will be paid immediately via an inflation tax on the poor as per usual…
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The closest thing to an endgame in capitalism is slavery.
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 year ago
They provided slaves with food and shelter. That’s all that many can afford now. But we have the freedom to travel if we can afford to, you know, when we’re not busy slaving.
CaptainHowdy@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
We accrue non-slave-time slowly at approximately 2 weeks per year. We can use it for leisure, but that’s expensive, so gotta budget for it! And we also must spend a week before and after slaving extra hard to make sure the masters don’t notice our lack of slaving while we’re away.

Next step in the capitalism game; own the people.
RejZoR@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
They didn’t think that far. They just fired everyone and replaced them with Ai.
Grimtuck@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think it’s a plot to deal with climate change and eventually they will reduce the worlds population by 99.9% leaving the rich served by robots and AI.
Chakravanti@monero.town 1 year ago
“Plot” is a little too high an observation of any real power, intelligence and magick.
There are adjacent and other dimensions right and here now that no one talks about it. They never spoke the language we’re talking now because they were psychic. Vampires are real, but not what’s been said. Ditto on rich because money is not real either.
WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 1 year ago
And now companies are slowly rolling this back as the productivity gains are in general small while the cost of AI keeps going up as investor’s money is running out.
Ronno@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Not just that, even as a company I would be seriously anxious when I know my business can be fully run by AI. That means that others can replicate your business very easily, which generates lots of competition, resulting in a race to the bottom. Which might even be good for consumers somehow.
camelbeard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And as a second point, we all know that when companies or people depend on AI the price to use that AI will go up to the point where it is almost as expensive as having actual people doing the job. All these billions poured in AI need to be earned back, so now your business will fail unless you basically pay them whatever they ask.
Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Try thinking about that again but through the lens of a capitalist.

Slavery
jagermo@feddit.org 1 year ago
No, it will be indenture, you want people to think that they will be able to get out in few years.
See the real world in Ready, Player One or black mirrors Fifteen Million Merrits
Slave might rebel or rise up, you want people with some hope.

In the boring real world, AI will not replace humans, it’ll just make the existing humans more efficient.
Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
vga@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Okay, sure. I’ll rephrase that.
It’ll make existing humans who are not complete morons more efficient.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 year ago
AI will not replace humans, it’ll just make the existing humans more efficient.
This must be a form of AI that hasn’t been invented yet. I’ve yet to meet a useful implementation.
brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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…
Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 1 year ago
It will make all labour “unskilled” labour which, at least at first, will allow big business to pay everyone less.
Chakravanti@monero.town 1 year ago
And the gymnecks…
ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 year ago
With what money are the unemployed supposed to pay for that?
ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 1 year ago
With every dime they can scrape together.
Then with debt and labor.
Then with lifelong debt.
No hyperbole, by design the system is setup to bleed people dry for every penny, not to create thriving nations or economies with many wide participants. We have been hacking away at hard won safeguards for 4 decades now, and the consequences are coming.
If enough of the people with the means own a majority of the assets, have little to no regulation to stop them, eventually you will be getting paid in WalmartCoin and redeem it exclusively at WalmartTown where the goods are all priced so you can never afford enough, just barely enough to get by.
We did it 100 years ago, and had to trust bust and outlaw it. But I guess we’re in for a do over.
finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 year ago
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.

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.

So poor people will become disposable?
Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Solution: pay the politicians to declare a costly war, draft the poors, throw them into the meat grinder, they die off, AI owners profit by having everything be cheaper because all the poors died off.
veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Honestly there’s no need because world population is declining anyways, so in a generation or two, even with AI, they’re going to have the opposite problem.

Manticore@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
AI is propped up by investors. Always promising the.next big thing is just around the corner. The money is pouring in from other wealthy people…let’s be real us common folk rarely if ever pay for AI. Its businesses doing that
but one day those investors will expect a return, so AI is being shoved in everything in the hopes of finding a use case that is actually profitable

notarobot@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I like to imagine there are two possible positive outcomes
- Just switch to communism or communist like
- They made such an effort to automate that now manufacturing is really cheap, and before they know it, people just buy local. Like imagine if you could run a hardware store with a metal 3d printer. Maybe you no longer need big brands
Zirconium@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought Amazon but with actual workers rights would be really good. No need for wasteful markets like malls and the labor and the boredom from working at places like that. Having drones and packages from a nationalized warehouse to distribute goods
LouNeko@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Amazon with worker rights doesn’t work as a buisness modell. Can’t have profits on selling cheap China trash if you have to pay everybody a living wage.
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
By that point the earth will be so polluted they will make profits by selling us clean air/02 in canisters, clean water, food an housing. Those of us that can’t afford it will just die.

Usher in the AI led apocalypse with nuclear war, biological warfare or just regular war … kill of either all or the majority of human life.
AI takes over the planet either alone or with a few hands picked humans, probably just the billionaires who made deals with the AI to give them extended life or near immorality.
