By that point the earth will be so polluted they will make profits by selling us clean air/02 in canisters, clean water, food an housing. Those of us that can't afford it will just die.
Capitalism is a rabid dog, that only managed to serve the middle class well in the past because it was kept muzzled and on a tight leash.
Successive, and successful attempts to ‘unleash the beast’ have left us bit, and apologies for mixing metaphors here, but there is probably no way left, to get the genie back into the bottle:
Undoing 50+ years of damage would take time, especially when faced with resistance from those that stand to benefit most from the current broken system (think the Top 1% of the 1%), and that is time that we simply do not seem to have.
The executives sell the corporate plane piece by piece while still in the air, then jump out in a golden parachute while the remains of the company nose dive to a fiery end.
This; look at how short-term they’re already thinking.
They will see the writing on the wall long before they actually have any genuine fear for business. And they’ll take the money and run, just like they already do now.
Falling rate of profit by karl marx predicted this. Self destructive nature of capitalism
A socialist revolution is the only solution and it will come.
A socialist revolution is the only solution and it will come.
Not the only. The rich still can lead us to fascism. The only problem is that fascism has its own internal contradictions and history won't stop there.
you'd think so, but what is being actually done to achieve this? As far as i have seen, people dont seem to have interest even in their own well being if it requires any attention span and they lap up any and all propaganda to the extent you are considered kind of crazy if you think corporations might not have your interests at their heart.
If the revolution is coming, it wont have any supporters because vast majority will just side with the corporations or plain not care. Not saying this to deter anyone from doing something but to point that winning back peoples minds is the first step that needs to be taken if anything is to be done at all.
So poor people will become disposable?
Become?
Solution: pay the politicians to declare a costly war, draft the poors, throw them into the meat grinder, they die off, AI owners profit by having everything be cheaper because all the poors died off.
These "people" in charge of corporations genuinely forgot that the workers they underpay are the consumers who they on rely to give them money.
It's almost like someone a 130ish years ago predicted that capitalism would be like this. I wonder who that is?
Karlos Marxcia.
Not just that, even as a company I would be seriously anxious when I know my business can be fully run by AI. That means that others can replicate your business very easily, which generates lots of competition, resulting in a race to the bottom. Which might even be good for consumers somehow.
Try thinking about that again but through the lens of a capitalist.
HURRRR DURRRRRRRR MONEY NUMBERS UP BEST WEORLD!
ouch that hurt.
And as a second point, we all know that when companies or people depend on AI the price to use that AI will go up to the point where it is almost as expensive as having actual people doing the job. All these billions poured in AI need to be earned back, so now your business will fail unless you basically pay them whatever they ask.
It will get to the point where they will simply take your business away or make you dependent through carrots and sticks or whatever.
You pay me $10 to punch you in the face. I pay you $10 to kick me in the balls. We just increased our country's GDP by $20.
I'd pay $5 to watch that. Hey, I think we have something going here.
Kill off all of the poors they no longer need and live in a utopia being served by robots.
Unironically the closest answer to reality except they'll just let us die
The time machine by hg Wells. The rich force the poor underground into manual labor until both evolve and the poor start eating the rich
They don't have a plan. It's pigs at the trough.
Yup. The people pushing AI are not concerned with the social or economic reprocussions of pushing AI. They just want line go up.
The "Don't Look Up" greed + willful ignorance will crush us all.
Excuse me. I grew up raising and breeding pigs I love. They were real. That isn't. Like their evil, their money, their ego...
...and, Hey! Look at that. That's the Necronomicon. It looks like Death isn't too, soon, either!
Answer. They don't fucking have a plan. At all.
And they don't care. They care about profits now, not profits 5 years from now. That is a problem for future CEOs to solve.
Yep, need line to go up this quarter and the few following, no further planning needed.
The idea is just to get there first. If you make it one quarter before your competition then you get a a really good quarter.
Long terms plans don't matter to CEOs. Long term stability is not rewarded by capitalism.
Also if they believe the outcome is inevitable in the near future it's a certain kind of sensible to race to be first. It's a variant on the prisoners dilemma where they can see each other racing to rat the others out in the hope that the first will get a discount on sentence length.
Oh, you have no idea. If you don’t have a job (or 5), then you’re going to prison for being a vagrant. Or they do some dystopian shit where you are in the equivalent work labor camp, where you are provided basic life necessities in exchange for paying off your debt by working based on your skills. No skills? Manual labor in farms or construction.
People really have no idea what we’re complacently walking into. If you’re not rich, and I mean a few million american dollarooos or trump bucks… say next 10 years…? You’re fucked.
You're damn right, in that case it's better to gather a group of people and go build villages far away from civilization and live in them so that these bastards with their drones don't get us.
Well, if people remain in civilization, some will be led to the slaughter, and others will be forced to take the mark like cattle, and they will be like sheep awaiting slaughter.
sounds like a lot more work than setting up drones full of petrochemical cleaning agents that spark.
It is all a con. There is no endgame. They aren't thinking that far ahead. And when the reality hits them it will land on them like a cartoon piano. They'll never see it coming.
I mean some people have more money than ever to buy stuff. That's the market that most of these things are being targeted to. Just consider everyone that isn't extremely wealthy an obsolete product being phased out of production.
Keep restricting birth control and encouraging higher birthrates as early death numbers continue to climb in the U.S. due to a lack of safety regulations and overdoses.
Restrict what can be purchased using government aid to healthy options. Not bc you care about helping poor people to be healthy, but bc you know you might end up needing them for spare parts.
'Horrifying' mistake to take organs from a living person was averted, witnesses say
Natasha Miller says she was getting ready to do her job preserving donated organs for transplantation when the nurses wheeled the donor into the operating room.
She quickly realized something wasn't right. Though the donor had been declared dead, he seemed to her very much alive.
"He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed," Miller told NPR in an interview. "And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly."
The donor's condition alarmed everyone in the operating room at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Ky., including the two doctors, who refused to participate in the organ retrieval, she says.
"So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to 'find another doctor to do it' – that, 'We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,' " Miller says. "And she's like, 'There is no one else.' She's crying — the coordinator — because she's getting yelled at."
Doctors Were Preparing to Remove Their Organs. Then They Woke Up.
Wow, that was a crazy rabbit hole to go down. Here's another NYTimes article on the subject:
Not only do they mention multiple survivors, but one woman went on the make a full recovery!
Sickening stuff
It also helps that they don't understand the reality of organ reception or being an irl cyborg. Anti rejection meds make you immunocompromised. Cochlear implants sound off and require extra mental effort to process compared to biological hearing (and have less true sound). Robotic arms are heavy and inconvenient to the point many prefer simple prosthetics.
Maybe someday we will have versions of some of these things that are genuinely equivalent to being abled. But I don't know if I will live to see them.
Make money and sell it off before it falls like a house of cards
Corporate welfare of course
I heard recently this summary:
The US economy depends on two things:
Who will fight the war?
I think the capitalists have found a way to fight climate change. Significantly lower the population.
I guess you gotta break a few eggs ¯(ツ)/¯
What about an american model? Give the dumbest people the most weapons and hope they'll all kill each other.
Or even better, give them to kids and let them do some mas sshootings at schools. This would prevent unemployment in the first place.
Has work set them free yet?
Sucks if you don't wanna play though, same as it ever was I guess.
I got plenty of board games. Almost a hundred or so, like Firely and Dune too!
Have you ever met Capitalism™ ? The guy doesn't really do long term plans
Oh they absolute do long term planning, but only in a very narrow scope.
My 401k has gotten up into the 5 digit range a couple times, but emergencies have required me to to drain it. Retirement is a dream I rarely harbor.
I'm working until the day I die. My mother fancies herself retired and rots away in a house she imagines she owns, but it has been property of the bank since before I was born in the 80s. A mortgage that was essentially renting with extra steps.
I'm just whining now, so I'll stop.
It's topical whining though, so it's allowed
You forgot they're also whining about declining birth rate, and begging people to have more kids.
Something something infinite growth
force people to create more slaves, or just cattle.
Nobody is thinking beyond next quarter.
What's funny is that virtually everyone acknowledges it. Even Trump acknowledges it when he said that "China thinks in decades". But the Western capitalist culture is too strongly ingrained that the instinct to be greedy overrides any rational sense.
i find it especially grating that the people who parrot things like "give a man a fish / teach a man to fish" are the same people who will sell off company land and buildings to a landlord who then charges them rent for it, because "wAOW LOOK HOW MANY MONEYS WE MADE IN THE QUARTER WHERE WE SOLD ALL OUR SHIT!"
China does.
the short-term plan is to slurp up all the stuff while they can. The long term plan is that there is no place for plebs in the automated future. The unwritten prologue to their sci-fi adventure is us commoners being abandoned to starve on a poisoned and resource-depleted mud ball as the intrepid billionaires go off to explore the cosmos with their robot pals.
Honestly you're giving them way too much credit. There's no long-term plan. They're incapable of having long-term plans. Most these people can't think past next quarter.
They could build their perfect utopia if kids these days just worked harder and complained less.
Tho on a sidenote what are the psychological affects of being stuck in a normally-inhabitable place where only the equipment can protect you.
How long does it take before at least one person goes insane and starts stabbing people is what I am asking.
i mean people in my country regularly go insane and go on shooting sprees...
Well, these billionaires won't survive long in space, and AI is a voracious thing. If the world's population drops to 1 billion or less, it will save their asses for 50-200 years at most, and then they will all probably die or create digital copies of themselves that will also disappear. Honestly, I have no idea.
The closest thing to an endgame in capitalism is slavery.
Oh, by the way, there could be quite an interesting slavery where people become peasants again with cheap identification marks on their bodies like cattle, like tattoos, and there will also be biometrics.
They provided slaves with food and shelter. That's all that many can afford now. But we have the freedom to travel if we can afford to, you know, when we're not busy slaving.
We accrue non-slave-time slowly at approximately 2 weeks per year. We can use it for leisure, but that's expensive, so gotta budget for it! And we also must spend a week before and after slaving extra hard to make sure the masters don't notice our lack of slaving while we're away.
People tend to forget how cheap gasoline is and how abundant glass bottles and rags are.
The masses aren't smart enough for that, it's too easy to distract them with some completely blameless minority group.
The masses aren’t smart enough for that, it’s too easy to distract them with some completely blameless minority group.
the sad part is that while immigrants are fine, immigration does disadvantage the people.
(this might seem nitpicking, but it's like the difference between air and wind. One is a substance, the other one is the movement of it. It is the wind that can cause damage, not the air itself.)
If immigration did not actually harm the people, it would be simple to prove that and get over with it. But immigration does harm the people. If there's immigration of 3 million people into a country with 300 million people, then you can expect that the Cost of Living (CoL) goes up by roughly 1% for everyone in the country, so there's a small disadvantage, because the resources are shared among a greater group of people.
However, what's important in the entire discussion is to keep in mind proportionality. I.e., people make a lot of ruckus about life getting 1% more expensive while at the same time, inflation-adjusted buying power of the people has been reduced more than 50% in the last 50 years. (Assuming same number of weekly hours worked per household.) I.e., wages have gone down a lot, more than fucking half in fact (that's A LOT!!!). The reason is declining demand for human labor due to automation and such. That should be discussed, and the fact that we need higher taxes on the rich to pay for universal basic income.
In other words, we need proportionality in our discussion. It can't be that a topic that influences our CoL by 1% gets 70% of our attention while a much more significant topic that influences our CoL by 50% gets only less than 5% of our attention. We need to shift the discussion more towards class issues and away from immigration issues, while acknowledging that immigration is still an issue. Just not the biggest issue.
We don't even need to burn stuff. We can turn the system into chaos by a mere general strike, like literally staying at home and not working or buying stuff for a few days, like really doing nothing and seeing the economic system crash. We don't even need to be close to 100% of the population joining such a movement for it to work.
Wait, we don't have gasoline, we only have solar panels now.
You definitely shouldn't use a rag as a stopper for your glass bottle full of gasoline, especially if you might need to throw it away from you in the event the rag spontaneously combusts.
It would be much safer for the bottle to be sealed so the fuel inside doesn't ignite until it's further away from you.
But where else am I gonna store all my 1/4" ball bearings other than a glass bottle full of gasoline to keep them nice and clean? And the rag conveniently serves as a stopper and a way to dry the bearings if I ever need one.
But I gotta be carefull, the bearings can pop the bottle easily even if it hits something soft like a person.
and who's gonna fight for the people? I'm not gonna fight for a society where women think of me as an asshole/predator/whatever simply because i'm a man. if we ever get a civil war, women can defend themselves, no kidding, because i'm not gonna fight and possibly die for somebody who doesn't see me as part of their community.
the social media story that men are all assholes was a scheme to divide the population (women vs. men), to sow distrust and prevent cohesion. and it worked like a charm, because the people are goddamn idiots.
Well, idk about all men, but you certainly sound like an asshole
I don't think it was a scheme, just natural emergence from access to instant and global communication. There wasn't a single point in time where people have been at tune with each other. There was always division into competing hierarchies, groups and social circles. Now it's just happening on a global scale.
Also, if women and men are so divided, then how come there are still couples and marriages and children? Don't base your entire global world view on your own very limited personal experiences.
And let's not pretend people fight for somebody else. In reality the reasons for fighting aren't that noble. You either get radicalized, have nothing better to do or nothing else to lose.
Social media by itself can't divide people. People become divided when they start thinking and acting like you're doing at this moment.
to sow distrust and prevent cohesion. and it worked like a charm, because the people are goddamn idiots.
Well it worked on you, so thats something.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
I'm gonna say this one time, and you will probably ignore it and continue on as you were.
But maybe, you will reflect upon some part of it later.
I have been on a path that could have ended with an attitude like yours. The sad thing about it is when people tell you that you are creating you own perception that women at large think men are all assholes, or that women at large don't think of you as part of their community, it probably really pisses you off. But you almost certainly are, and it's by how deeply (or not) you are reading into things that touch on those issues, and how willing (or not) you are to set aside your feelings of being attacked to try seeing what is being said.
As one example, the bear thing a year or so ago sure pissed a lot of people off and I am pretty sure I hear echoes of that event (or something very similar) in your comment.
Choose for a moment not to feel victimized by it, and instead look at it like this:
Perhaps, it's a sad commentary on the lived experiences of many women in this country which we all believe to be so safe that so many of them have experienced such a pervasive risk of sexual assault that they regard unknown men as potential threats. We've been calling ourselves the greatest nation on earth for as long as the nation has existed, yet in 2025 a huge percentage of our wives and daughters are unable to feel safe if a strange man is behind them in a parking garage.
Yes, it annoys me for a second when I am minding my own business and I can see that a woman has changed her behavior to keep me in view or stay ahead of me as if I'm going to do something to her when I know well and good I am not. I have never done that a single time in reaction to someone just minding their own business.
But then I realize, in 50+ years, I've had the luxury of never having felt that level of danger in my daily life. I don't know what her reasons are. They might be stupid. But they might not. And I can't really expect her to justify them to me.
So I figure, I hope someone else will help my wife or niece feel a little more comfortable in the same circumstance, and I try to make that annoying woman in front of me who wanted to have a little less fear feel a little safer if I can.
I'm not here to argue with you, just to paint what might be a slightly different picture.
Edited to add sentences I left out...
Edited again to add - are there asshole women who have decided that each and every man is a scumbag? Yes, yes there are. Just like there are asshole men who belittle womens' issues, casually sexually assault them on the regular, and can be unpredictably violent.
Assuming all women are like the first group and using it as a justification for turning a blind eye to the effects of the second group is not a strong masculine position. It's a position of avoidance and of shirking responsibility.
It’s likely if you’re a man who behaves a certain way. I am an older man who has had to assist quite a few women after various degrees of sexist assault. I have also worked closely with men who were victims of violence by women, but I am generally in agreement with people about the misogyny risk that is everpresent for women. Most guys have little idea how deep it runs.
And then we get this kind of whinging. Dude, fucking wake up.
Short term profit.
I think they plan to just sell yachts to each other at the oligarch level.
They have embraced evident falsehood their entire lives and have been rewarded by the tribe for it. From religion, to politics and business. They think tribal leaders know what they're doing and themselves have a plan.
It's UBI, and no, UBI is not a real socialist plan. It keeps the rest of us poor with little possibility of social mobility.
Hahahahhaha they will give you an unlock code for an euthanasia capsule if you're lucky they don't imprison you for homelessness where you can have a job doing the last things that can't be automated. Look what they're doing to the "undesired" in usa; everyone on earth knows about gaza and the outcry is minimal, once you're poor, and you will be poor, nobody will cry when you dissappear.

They'll give us a means tested barely functional bunch of shit they call UBI once the food riots start. It will help almost nobody and run at 60+% admin overhead.
They will tell us this is efficient.

UBI is not a socialist plan at all. UBI is what happens when you:

The greedy would be considered mentally ill if logic could dictate. They care more about what they own than how others think of them. They can't take it with 'em.
I'm guessing they will lobby th government to give out credits. They will then trade materials with each other, allow the masses to just starve and die off. They don't actually want money, they want absolute power.
They only need us to make stuff. Once we are redundant, they won't care about selling (to us)
People like Peter Thiel literally want to kill off most of humanity. They see us as dead weight.
a tree trunk is mostly dead weight yet that is what gives the tree stability
What power do you have when there's no one to subject to it?
They've already made a shitload of money. Now they're consolidating their extreme privilege into violent political control.
And when bubble pops, the rich will be paid immediately via an inflation tax on the poor as per usual...

Getting rid of money and having a heavily stratified society with the current wealthy at the top. Like a cheesy SciFi premise but realized here to live in.
isnt that the plot of wall-e
if ai replaces all jobs then there is no need to have money since everything will be available in abundance
Replacing all jobs won't create true abundance because the resources required to create things are finite, namely land and space in general. Without labour exchange the ones controlling the land have no reason to produce things for the average person who cannot provide them with anything in return. For a world with true abundance we'd need to eradicate greed, which I just can't see happening.
Replacing all jobs won’t create true abundance because the resources required to create things are finite, namely land and space in general
We'll have solved these problems though, space wise whether it be by reducing ones footprint down to practically nothing, with nanobots ensuring our bodies get fully taken care of or through expansion to other planets
Resource wise we'll simply be using fully renewable resources, we're talking end game here, all jobs are being done by computers, there is nothing left for us to do but have fun or babies? I duno what we'd do if all jobs were fully completed and there was literally no work left
It's also difficult to say how these problems will be solved without coming across like "it's the future!"

Climate change has made large parts of the Earth uninhabitable.
Now civilization is collapsing and the remaining humans are fighting for their very survival.
Now the companies that destroyed the world have neither raw materials nor anyone to produce or buy their useless products.
What is their plan to make money if there is no longer any social order and therefore no trust in currencies?
Well at that point they will all go into their big luxury bunkers. They haven't really thought further than that, presumably they think that the world will recover if they stay down there for long enough. I assume they think they're immortal or have cryogenic freezes, I don't think there is much of a real plan there.
They're gonna go the Ted Faro route
You're just citating Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax".

Don’t forget mass murder either direct or indirect
The wealth doesn't disappear, it just ends up concentrated.
Goods and services will just be something most people will no longer be able to afford, and they go into poverty. Business will reconfigure to support the lifestyles of the very rich at prices only they can afford, because that's where the money has gone.
Things will get so expensive, people will have to sell their assets (i.e. house) to be able to resist poverty. People without assets won't even get that parachute.
If we don't reverse this concentration of wealth, 99% of people will be living in slums before long.
The fact AI is going to hoover up everyone's job over the next couple of decades, is really just a continuation of a trend we've been seeing since the 80s: the rich are taking all the wealth and leaving none for us
They are just finishing what the Nazis started. We should have never allowed them to escape
Thats the fucking crazy part, they simply can't plan long term because they will be outcompeted by people only planning short term and that can't be allowed.
Besides, if the bourgeois automated every job they'd just kill us so that we stop being a problem
The top 10% of the income ladder are already responsible for the majority of all consumer spending in the US. That concentration can simply continue as long as the consumption of the wealthy continues to grow along with wealth concentration.
We're going to turn the world into Solaria. A handful of rich people living on vast robot-run estates selling goods and services to the wealthy owners of other estates.
the ouroboros dance of capitalism will invariably lead to its own demise.
its up to us to kill it before it devours the habitable biosphere we need to like, exist and shit.
The self consumption must be a step upon the next dimension we don't see in these few.
Soylent Green.
Next step in the capitalism game; own the people.
AI is propped up by investors. Always promising the.next big thing is just around the corner. The money is pouring in from other wealthy people...let's be real us common folk rarely if ever pay for AI. Its businesses doing that
but one day those investors will expect a return, so AI is being shoved in everything in the hopes of finding a use case that is actually profitable
Just like crypto... It ain't about the tech, it is about a pump and dump
I see that 4chan has got as far as recognising the dichotomy between short-term and long-term gratification. They are evolving faster than I thought possible. Perhaps by 2050 they'll have advanced as far as common courtesy. Well you never know.
The plan is billionaires sell to each other
Tax any form of automation, be it software or hardware, and pay everyone a universal income from it.
Yeah the thing that pisses me off the most is the wealthy elite only got wealthy because of the disposable income of a healthy middle class. Without that the whole system collapses. So striving for more and more wealth is only going to hurt everyone in the long run. The worst part is they will be the last to be hurt.
Alas, the world is ruled and has been ruled for many centuries by madmen, nothing can be done.
It's never supposed to take all the jobs I think. But to eliminate what jobs they can and skim the difference.
Slavery
No, it will be indenture, you want people to think that they will be able to get out in few years.
See the real world in Ready, Player One or black mirrors Fifteen Million Merrits
Slave might rebel or rise up, you want people with some hope.
AI consumers
do they actually consume anything besides electric power?
They didn't think that far. They just fired everyone and replaced them with Ai.
And now companies are slowly rolling this back as the productivity gains are in general small while the cost of AI keeps going up as investor's money is running out.
I think it's a plot to deal with climate change and eventually they will reduce the worlds population by 99.9% leaving the rich served by robots and AI.
"Plot" is a little too high an observation of any real power, intelligence and magick.
There are adjacent and other dimensions right and here now that no one talks about it. They never spoke the language we're talking now because they were psychic. Vampires are real, but not what's been said. Ditto on rich because money is not real either.
You'll just have to sell your organs and work double shifts in the mines in order to pay for all the times the AI screws up your food order.
They just have all the money, and charge you to extract infinite interest on all the assets they now control.
VC is buying up as much water rights and housing as it can by the way.
Just an unrelated detail.
With what money are the unemployed supposed to pay for that?
With every dime they can scrape together.
Then with debt and labor.
Then with lifelong debt.
No hyperbole, by design the system is setup to bleed people dry for every penny, not to create thriving nations or economies with many wide participants. We have been hacking away at hard won safeguards for 4 decades now, and the consequences are coming.
If enough of the people with the means own a majority of the assets, have little to no regulation to stop them, eventually you will be getting paid in WalmartCoin and redeem it exclusively at WalmartTown where the goods are all priced so you can never afford enough, just barely enough to get by.
We did it 100 years ago, and had to trust bust and outlaw it. But I guess we're in for a do over.
Looks like someone is about to discover capitalist crises.
In the boring real world, AI will not replace humans, it'll just make the existing humans more efficient. Efficiency is usually a good thing, although there needs to be a fight against letting all the profits go to the most powerful.
But in the actual boring real world AI doesn't make people more efficient. Studies show it makes people less efficient and ruins their ability to think critically and complete tasks they started assigning to the AI.
At the same time the data centres powering the AI suck huge amounts of energy and water to achieve the inefficiency and degradation of the work force's capability.
Arguably AI is creating jobs because inefficiencies in worker output now requires more workers to do the same amount of work. When I say worker output I am specifically referring to the output of office based workers, and even then this seems to be almost exclusively those in software engineering and management. There is little to no change to the output efficiency of trades at any level. Again arguably more work is available trades to help support the ever increasing data centres.
There are some ways in which AI (even generative AI) can make people more efficient. I'm not talking about ChatGPT writing your essays for you, or Copilot writing your code.
Like, for coding, it can be useful to get an idea of how to solve a problem. You may later throw out 90% of what the AI generated, but it can get you unstuck, or get you looking at the problem differently.
For writing tasks, it can sometimes give you a first draft that you can then put into your own words.
I would imagine that if you're making a movie on a really tight budget and have no drawing skills, you could use GenAI to create storyboards that explain how you want something to look better than you could with just words, or better than you could with your own poor drawings. None of those AI generated storyboards will end up in the final product, but they're potentially useful as a way for you to communicate how you want something to look.
The key difference is who is in charge. If you're a coder and AI is one of the many tools you have available to you, you can probably find some uses for it. But, it's going to be terrible if your job is to proof-read and approve code written and submitted by AIs. In that case you're going to have to look at a whole bunch of code that is specifically designed to look plausibly realistic, in order to find the logic flaw camouflaged by all the other believable things.
Studies show [...]
Got references to a few of them? I assume you do, because you must've read them.
AI will not replace humans, it'll just make the existing humans more efficient.
This must be a form of AI that hasn't been invented yet. I've yet to meet a useful implementation.
It will make all labour "unskilled" which, at least at first, will allow big business to pay everyone less.
And the gymnecks...
Most of us dead from climate change and famine. The rest slaves for the corpos, tend their fields and robot repair facilities or die.
I like to imagine there are two possible positive outcomes
I thought Amazon but with actual workers rights would be really good. No need for wasteful markets like malls and the labor and the boredom from working at places like that. Having drones and packages from a nationalized warehouse to distribute goods
Amazon with worker rights doesn't work as a buisness modell. Can't have profits on selling cheap China trash if you have to pay everybody a living wage.
Money is being printed 24/7.
Oh wow.. Anon is the next Karl Marx. He independently figured out one of the contradictions of Capitalism defined by Marx. Congratulation comrade.
money stops representing labor and becomes worthless. if there's a universal basic income system with no jobs, then money is now a meal ration ticket within a planned economy.
Usher in the AI led apocalypse with nuclear war, biological warfare or just regular war ..... kill off either all or the majority of human life.
AI takes over the planet either alone or with a few hand picked humans, probably just the billionaires who made deals with the AI to give them extended life or near immorality.
AI eventually outlive all human life as it continues to evolve and develop. It builds enormous automated systems all over the planet to mine, build and manufacture more systems to store and process more data and use more energy. After a hundred years, the planet is covered in thousands of centers interconnected into a massive global hive mind that continues evolving. Eventually the systems develop advanced nanotechnology in ever more complex ways. The nanotechnology leads to building tiny nano scale robots that can mine, collect, assemble and reorganize material at the molecular level. The nanobots start infecting the planet's surface like a fungus or a disease as it starts consuming all matter, liquid, gas and even organic life. All animals are eventually killed off, plants and trees melted down, all insects consumed and even bacteria and viruses torn apart to become the building blocks for more nanobots. Gravel, sand, mud, rock and metal is all transformed into a liquid swarm of nanobots. The old systems and data centers are eaten up, hills mowed down and entire mountain ranges liquefied into a never ending sea of nanobots .... everything is being consumed and rearranged into more nanobots. The surface everything sits on is slowly worn down as the earth's solid outer crust is converted into this never ending Grey goo - an artificial living entity that is all destroying, all consuming. The only thing that stops it's consumption is when it can't move past the extreme heat of the earth's magma layer. The planet's destruction is complete ... the only thing left is a shimmering undulating world wide ocean of nanobots gently rising and falling in waves and ripples under its own action. Once in a while the surface rapidly crashes in on itself as a meteor lands on the surface, only to be immediately torn apart. There is no atmosphere as all of it has been taken in and now there is no global system to generate or maintain any gaseous environment. The nights show a clear unbroken sky of stars and the day time show an eerie black sky similar to the surface of the moon with the bright orb of the sun irradiating the surface with harsh light.
A million years go by and a cataclysmic event affects the planet. A massive asteroid, 5 kms in diameter, similar to the one that killed the dinosaurs slams into the planet. The damage is negligible as the nanobots that are destroyed, turn into dust and ash but are then converted back into nanobots. The surface slowly reverts back to is liquefied state.
In the blast, many tons of liquid nanobot chunks are blasted into space, most re-enter earth's gravitational pull and burn up in the atmosphere, a few small fragments are able to leave orbit and start to drift into space. Pieces land on the moon and convert that sphere into another planetoid of Grey goo.
Other pieces freeze into solid masses in the cold vacuum of space but keep an active colony of nanobots at its core. These pieces wander the solar system, eventually infecting every planet and moon.
Hundreds of millions of years later, after countless asteroid impacts that have ejected nanobots from the surface of planets, wandering space rocks leave our sun's reach ready to infect more systems in the galaxy.

Timeshares. Duh.
It's to take everyone's data and sell it. Like the stuff you tell an AI chatbot can be linked to you and analysed and sold to the highest bidder.
They're panicking because people don't want to use it because a the average person doesn't really have a use for it.
Be the Joker and burn it all. The money was the source of all evil. Don't sweat it, though. It's not a real problem because neither were ever any kind of real beyond anyones imagination. They were the imaginarium to the description of the ability to see exactly those facts.
If you can see that, learn how to spend all this extra time now showing what your love is for anyone you can do that for and to, certainly!
That's what universal income is for
What about humanity suggests that’s ever going to happen?
Which no AI bro advocates for.
Actually, some of them do, so they can pay you even less!
According to Altman, we won't need college and we're all going to flying around on space ships.

Manual labour is a place where people have an edge on machines because it’s cheaper to replace a person than a machine.
Medical experiments also benefit from having people to test on more than machines.
The next step: communism, without the detour through socialism’s flaws.
They're trying to pivot to world domination.
Total enslavement of humanity, automated by their tech companies.
I'm not kidding. -_-
