AI is fucking shit up for humans without providing any benefits.

It’s causing unemployment but no real gains unless you have a lot of equity and can benefit from lower costs from fewer people working.

Saying AI has no benefit is pure ostrich head in the sand nonsense.

I’m not saying AI is not capable.

I’m saying with our current economic and political systems it’s only a lever for making the world worse faster.

Well... except you did:

> without providing any benefits.


I will concede I should have said “net benefits”.

HA! It just solved a ton a problems for us - but that makes you mad?

But yes, I agree, there needs to be a solution for the fact that we don't need to work anymore. And it needs to be more like The Jetsons than 1984.

We'll probably have to revolt to get the changes we need. I don't see Elon giving up his power without a fight.
