Economies are already in shambles and AI isn’t even ready yet.
It’s almost as if an infinitesimal fraction of humanity shouldnt hoard billions of dollars.

AI will turn most cities in the world into Detroits in the next 10 years. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

There’s one crucial link missing in your assessment: economies are in shambles mostly because of that infinitesimal fraction of humanity’s efforts to hoard the wealth.
And note that I said wealth, not money: those are two completely separate things. Many of those billionaires have a lot more dollars than actual wealth.

Dollars only represent wealth insofar as they can be used for exploitation.

I disagree but we’ll revisit the conversation in a decade as I added the task to my calendar so I’ll talk to you in 2034.

Well, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong. I really do. But sadly I’m not terribly optimistic.

I’m with you on this one. There’s still a ways to go, and AI development will have a lot of ups, downs, setbacks, and scary leaps forward. But over time the general trend will be advancement. It’s like climate vs weather.
