Comment on U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October
Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 1 week agoThe problem is that when the AI bubble finally pops, the retirement funds that workers throughout the world will become worthless overnight. The ultra-rich will not be wiped out, and they will control even more wealth using their capital to buy as much as they can after the crash.
One would hope that this is the time when everyone wakes up and puts those fuckers to the guillotine, but I doubt it.

What if it doesnt pop and what we are seeing is the foundation for the dystopian society? Data centers being built will be used to monitor everyone in real time, connected to Ai of course so humans are not needed to watch it.
I think this is exactly what is happening. There is a huge financial incentive to build that world where humans no longer are needed. Thats why I think this is not a bubble, it just looks like it.

I spend way too much time living with this obvious truth-to-come’s future impact on my children. The AI bubble will pop and bring the market down with it, and there will be a net to catch everyone just like the ones that prevent suicides at the FOXCONN factories. I truly hope my children never taste (or become) soylent green but literally everything is on the table after seeing how greedy and cowardly nearly every human is when push comes to shove over the last 5 years.
The dehumanization frog is being boiled right in front of us, and its way less sophisticated than I ever thought it would be. project2025.observer does a great job at tracking the totality of the christofascist endgame IMO. Dehumanization being normalized will allow them to move on to political opponents heading into midterms.
