People want change.... but they will never elect the first black woman to be president.

Fuck off with that nonsense. Sure, there are plenty of people who are ignorant; however, a little over a decade ago, your argument was used against black people entirely and yet we had a black president. There are a few loudmouths who try to sway you with arguments EXACTLY like yours. Stop making the fucking argument and work on the solution. I would vote for Andrea Ocasio-Cortez (AOC, I can't really spell the name) or Jasmine Crockett LONG before I would vote for any other white man from either party. Both would be corrupted by power, the same as any other person, but at least they are starting from the right place.

If we could "fix" the moon or Mars, then we could fix the Earth easily.

Your point is valid but your logic is not. Creating something from scratch is FAR easier than fixing a complex balanced system. That is why we make babies and die. Reproduction is an easier problem to solve than long term maintenance.

When faced with a first line AI, like all sane folks who know better, I will conclude my interactions with said firm and write them off as hopelessly incompetent and susceptible to stupid fads.

So... you are recommending that the majority of the population stay unemployed due to principles? I can't really say that I disagree; however, billions of starving people won't go over very well... if they even have the principles to subject themselves to termination.

Not everyone can work in at your place of work and AI is being used across all industries for this crap.

Why? It is more profitable to forget that the past ever occurred.

Perspective changes everything. There is a reason all conquering civilizations try to completely erase the civilizations they have conquered.

Nobody wants to pay their debts.

Why can the masses not also utilize AI to their advantage, maintaining the status quo at a minimum.

I dunno. Give a millionaire an AI and give a billionaire an AI and who do you think is going to win in that struggle for power? You would be correct to insist that nothing is guaranteed; however, I know which way I would bet.

The actual jobs at risk are low-level, no-decision-power paper pushing jobs where mistakes do not matter a lot.

AI is too dangerous to use for nebulous decisions but it is fine if AI is inserted where the rubber meets the road. ROFL.

Living in a fantasy world is fine as long as someone or something is monitoring Reality to ensure you don't bump into Reality in unexpected ways.
