You’re talking about next quarter problems. Those aren’t mine. I will be gone by then
Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs?

What CEOs never seem to grasp in that context is that they wouldn’t just replace their workers with AI but also their customers… AI doesn’t earn a wage and therefore can’t spend it on (unnecessary) goods… No customer, no revenue. No revenue, no profits. No profit, no dividends.
Probably why they’re working so hard on commoditizing basic necessities like food, water and housing into subscription based systems… 🤔

Add UBI, boom communism.

Nah. We would have to add patriot dollars that can be spent on freedom necessities, instead. We don’t tolerate communism.

Exactly. Everything needs to be peak consumerism, or else their model of “line on the graph infinitely goes up” shatters. It’s a Brave New World dystopia.

Just reread Brave New World, and you’re spot on. I forgot how consumerism underpinned everything in their society.
It was like a tightly regulated market but in the worst way.

Yup. Everyone turns to 1984 as the dystopia of our time, but it’s really Brave New World, and it’s always been. Even Huxley said as much in a letter to George Orwell, lol.
