The rich are fawning frantically over AI because they think it’ll make it so they no longer need the poor.
If they come to honestly believe they can live without us, I expect they’ll eventually decide to just kill us all ._.
I don’t think that’s actually it, it’s just a new market, so capital floods in there as the rate of profit is initially much higher. Older markets have lower and lower rates of profit, but new ones can manifest much greater returns before the fad becomes oversaturated.
Simple failures of capitalism at play, nothing nefarious. If the wealthy wanted to fully automate society, the US wouldn’t be de-industrializing over time. Capital can’t plan for the future on its own, we need socialism to take control back from it.
Why you think they ignore climate change and cost of living crisis and fought standards and push anti Vax and anti mask ideas?
Its always been the plan.
Problem is, being rich doesn’t mean smart, when millions are displaced their estates won’t protect them. They learned nothing from the French Revolution
