A luxury for the wealthy now, unless you want struggling to be your hobby. But not that many people have 60+ hours of cognitive work in them indefinitely
Bro. My parents don’t know what an IP address is. Apple is great for them, because Apple handles all the myriad complexity of computing for them.
If you want to be responsible for your own compute security, you can run Linux.
IMO this is a good balance: hobbyist or professionals who know what they’re doing have an OS, and people who don’t care can go to Best Buy. Everyone wins
But realistically, it’s the lack of any meaningful enforcement of ethical behavior. I mean it’s not like the Trump admin is going to prosecute criminality. More likely they’ll send a gift basket congratulating Scam Altman on a con well done.
I work in robotics. You are sadly mistaken. There is exactly a 0% chance that humans are still using wrenches by hand in 2076 (unless there's some global collapse from climate change / war)
Except that’s not capitalism. That’s corporatism. Capitalism doesn’t require shielding all commercial activities because limited liability companies. We can and do require some activities to be operated as partnerships where there is personal liability. If you run payroll and you don’t safeguard employee payroll taxes it is a personal liability, if you run a public company and you misstate financials it’s a personal liability.
Capitalism is generally defined by the market effect. Information about what people want is collected by sales. This information informs sellers about what to make. That’s its primary feature.
By definition, this ignores externalities.
Here is a simple example.
I am a taxi driver. The market sets the price of my services. When I drive, I emit CO2 into the atmosphere. I do not pay for CO2 emissions. It’s an externality of the transaction.
Capitalism has no way of measuring (getting a price signal) on the externality. So under capitalism, that externality doesn’t exist.
This isn’t a sacrifice, it’s a career move. If you got lucky and “made” $20M by signing a contract at the right time, then you’re done working for other people.
What does that have to do with AI? People suffer in 2026 because the developed world is into exploitation. Poverty is a feature. How do you think AI gets trained? It’s via exploitation of the poorest.
Poverty is natural state of humans. The fact that capitalism has reduced poverty so much is absolutely unnatural and a miracle. Poverty is NOT something that gets created artificially by developed countries!
bro it’s a data center. This is commodity hardware. Nothing innovative is happening here. Meta is abusing the tax code and hoping their lobbying efforts shield them
