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.

They're trying to pivot to world domination.

Total enslavement of humanity, automated by their tech companies.

I'm not kidding. -_-

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

The difference is that 3D TVs were cool though

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

Next step in the capitalism game; own the people.

The closest thing to an endgame in capitalism is slavery.

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

They've already made a shitload of money. Now they're consolidating their extreme privilege into violent political control.

And when bubble pops, the rich will be paid immediately via an inflation tax on the poor as per usual...

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.

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.

it'll just make the existing humans more efficient.

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 7 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

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...

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 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

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

I like to imagine there are two possible positive outcomes

  1. Just switch to communism or communist like
  2. 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

Oh wow.. Anon is the next Karl Marx. He independently figured out one of the contradictions of Capitalism defined by Marx. Congratulation comrade.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 weeks ago

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.
