And that's not meaningful growth. It doesn't make more stuff or more services or make life better for anyone it just replaces jobs.

...will deal with any real AGI threat: delay, deflect*, ignore, and blame.

In short, if AGI is possible, humanity is bigly hosed. Nice knowing you all, cheers to all the great trollin' and dupes...

* "But China & India pollute more" is a stupid GOP position. For one, it's 2-wrongs-make-a-right, and second, their pollution per person is actually LOWER than ours. It's penalizing population, not pollution itself.

now what could possibly go wrong? Hmmm. Those who pushed the IOT craze should be beaten with bricked IOT devices.

> just like your local grocery store, convenience store, etc. is allowed to offer house brand items

If there were only ONE grocery store brand in the area, it would be a problem.

You didn't learn from Microsoft's Borgification of competition.

What about if there is an international fee for deployment that is spent on clean-up bots? It's kind of like how cans, bottles, and electronics (some states) attach a disposal fee.

Reminds me of Mozilla and Firefox. Management needs attention span meds.

the nightmare scenario, known as the Kessler syndrome, is a debris cascade that makes it difficult or impossible to operate satellites in parts of the final frontier.

If Earth orbit is the final frontier, then we are fucked as a species. Did AI write that?

Are the kind of people who are upset that they can't use the n-word in public and who knowingly voted for Trump the rapist because they think it should be legal to fuck kids. So really I don't pay much mind to those people because they're weird little fuckers and best case scenario they will become irrelevant and worst case scenario we're all going to die in a global Firestorm of nuclear fire caused by those idiots handing the launch codes to religious lunatics because they're upset somebody said happy holidays...

It's not a product it's there to replace wages. The potential payoff is in the trillions so a little bit of short-term expenditure is fine, most of which you will pay for it because there are only a handful of companies left after decades of mega mergers and illegal antitrust violations that were not enforced.

The billionaires have had it with capitalism. Mark my words. They are done with capitalism and they are done with consumers and they are done with us.

I get it you want to say the n word and you want to do it without getting banned or modded down. And you know the way things are going if your side wins you'll get the Say the n-word as much as you want.

But they're going to take your house and the pills to keep you alive. They're not just going to let you be a racist piece of shit on the internet they're going to take your property away from you. And they're going to do worse to your kids and your grandkids not that you care...

I'm not telling you this because I think it'll change your mind. You are too poisoned in the brain to do anything but be an asshole anymore.

I'm telling you this because I want to put it in your head like a worm that's going to eat your brain alive like a certain Health and human services head. You know what you're doing and you know it's eventually going to backfire and you know that unless you're at least 65 years old you're not going to drop dead before it does.

So you know damn well that the internet is nothing like a mother fucking newspaper. But your troll and a racist so this is all about you getting to be your worst possible person as much as possible. And I'm telling you you're not going to get away with that. The billionaires will take all your property just to take it. Good luck dying before that happens because that's literally the only thing that can save your fat stinking ass

Also could you please stop putting rapists in the White House? Thanks

And the rest of the world follows. If the United States does the way with free speech on the Internet by killing section 230 then Europe will follow. And it's Europe that you're talking about because China does not have free speech on the internet and in many African countries they will literally kill you if you're gay.. although in their defense Americans went over there and lobbied for the laws that give death penalties for being gay...

The United States falling to fascism is going to take the rest of the world with it. Eventually we will hand nuclear launch codes to the religious lunatics and Chisto fascists and then that's game over for the human race...

It's not a product it's capital. It's not something they sell even to businesses it's something you own and use for your own purposes. AKA capital.

AI exists to solve the problem of paying wages. Because of that it doesn't need to be profitable it just needs to serve the needs of the people who own it, billionaires.

I think this is a difficult idea for people to wrap their heads around because what's happening here is capitalism is going away and since we all grew up being told that capitalism is immutable and the only viable economic system the idea that it would be dismantled and replaced with something else is nonsensical.

25% unemployment got us World War II. AI is going to cause at least that much. If you think there are going to be new jobs sit down and try to list them. You can't. The economy can't adapt this fast.

The reason I bring it up is there is a lot of old people who think they are going to get away from this mess unscathed. So they think they can sit back and watch everything collapse around them.

It's painfully obvious billionaires have had enough of capitalism. But socialism is absolutely not on the table. So with capitalism collapsing and socialism not an option what now?

And we better figure it out fast because the billionaires already have their solution which is techno feudal dystopia.

Good luck getting medical Care in that collapsing economy and civilization. The pills keeping you alive or going to become unavailable. You'll be lucky if you have food and enough heating oil to get through a winter

Because at least they're not directly to blame. What pisses me off are the people who are complicit.

It's mostly people over 50 who have the I got mine fuck you attitude. The kind of people who are angry they can't use the n word in public anymore.

A convicted felon with 28 credible rape accusations couldn't be president without complicity from a large group of people. Without willing participation
