Cybercrime is going to be wild in a few years.
I see. But if we count the opportunity cost, it's not $4 trillion right?
Where does this money come from? Was it minted just for this?
It's like Katamari Damacy but with intelligence.
You're still here after all these years?
Notably though if we actually run out of work to do we have a post-scarcity utopia, and that happens when people are so rich that there's basically not a single person who, given even more money, would even be able to think of something to spend it on. That's not going to happen any time soon, so we're basically dealing with a distribution problem, which requires distribution (e.g. minimum wage, set it to 1/3 national hourly GDP, the reason for this takes a while to explain) and redistribution (negative income tax, do it as a universal dividend) policies along with monetary policy to properly increase the money supply to not fall behind productivity growth.
In late 2023, I began noticing changes in the media landscape. Publications were laying off most of their writers, and friends in the industry lost out on great gigs and started competing with AI-generated writing.
As for the book industry, I realized AI will not spend years crafting a thrilling romance novel; it will instead churn out a thousand ebooks a month. For the commercial side of the industry, that will always be enough.
The link used for an example of AI-generated writing consuming the industry discusses cover letters and resumés, and in a great fallacy of equivocation the author decides this means creative writers like Brandon Sanderson, David Webber, and herself will be replaced by ChatGPT.
Instead of AI taking her job, the AI narrative took her job, or at least convinced her to give up on her career as a writer.
In about 20 years we will call this a cyberweapon broken arrow event.
If companies reduce their workforce by 10% then corporate taxes need to go up by the lost tax revenue.
The way psychopathy works is that if I am a psychopath then I necessarily run all those companies. It's a low-entropy mode.

Tell us you don't know any old people without saying you don't know any old people.
I'm starting to believe that Joe Biden is exactly the president we need right now. Yes, he hesitates in speech sometimes. Yes, he's old. But in most of the world, age is actually respected. And most important to me, he has demonstrated actual character over the years. You can't fake that. Right wing jackoffs hate it when a leader shows character, and watching them make fools of themselves over Biden is an added benefit.
I think he's doing fine.
Trump DID dispute the election. He did it over and over and over in court. And lost in court.
That's when he started breaking the law. He had no obligation to break the law and took no oath swearing to break the law.
