You’re blaming the wrong people. The issue is on the side of demand - investment funds pour almost infinite money into AI destabilizing the market. Hardware manufacturers are just a cog in this madness
The endless promotion of AI by virtually all tech company CEOs and shareholders, to me, is the most definitive proof that the rich would rather burn it all down than give any compensation, respect and decency to the working class.

Everyone is a cog in the dang machine. That’s why people criticize capitalism as a system so much
And it’s going to be our downfall

No, it’s self correcting as far as this type of disruptions go. Money will be wasted until it runs out, bubble will burst, and everything will be back to normal

This bubble sure
But our long-term prospect as a civilization…? Much less certain. If systems don’t get replaced by something that works we will end up in an overconsumed climate ravaged neofeudualist cyberpunk style hellscape

Thats the whole point. They are so immensely rich, they could fix most of the world’s and its people’s problems fairly quickly, and still be rich enough to continue to live in unbridled luxury and splendor, while the population would be mostly happy and content with the system. But apparently money is addictive and so they would rather ruin the world and societies by promoting a shit into fascism than give up even a sliver.

It’s also like… When you can have anything in the world it stops having meaning. So you can realistically only crave power, and by pushing others towards shittier and more miserable lives you elevate yours - it’s the only way.

I liken it to the dragon sickness Thorin had, an all consuming greed because you can think of nothing else. Stunted mind syndrome?
