The koolaid drinking coupled with the impotence or indifference in this place towards all those societal implications makes my head spin, sometimes. It’s just three years, but the AI Overlords have “policy recommendations” (this is PR, it’s marketing) for the proles, and what would even be the point? I mean, judging by the track record of billionaires who want to be trillionaires and who have no reason or personality trait left in them to care about anything but their immediate reality (cf. the reality they are inventing for the world)?

(Robots. Social unrest can be solved with robots.)

This is the next iteration of: but without consumers those billionaires have no one to sell stuff to. So surely this will work out.

I'm to take for granted your baseless accusation that the labor market research is only marketing and that they don't care?

My point stands, it seems much preferable to spend 20-30% on public benefits rather than some dystopian suppression of the public via robot armies.

You don't get to call me indifferent for not sharing your extreme pessimism.


I’m to take for granted the BASELESS ASSUMPTION that it is more than just marketing and that they care?
