  They really do just hate the working class, don’t they? Even if it means a net negative in productivity.

    Yeah. They would rather dump billions into a convoluted ponzi scheme and political bribes than pay workers a fair amount.

      It’s amazing how irrational that is when you put it that way, isn’t it?

  They’re not going to admit billions were spent for nothing. That’s a good way to get fired. Better to double down until some other excuse appears, like a war causing an economic crash, blame all problems with AI on that and get a promotion.

  All so they can sell AI produced goods on their AI driven platform to AI users because none of us will have jobs.

  Computers are all these guys have. I dream of a computerless world.

    That’s easy. Just a matter of leaving them off. /s

    Seriously, be careful what you wish for! Hw vendors have been trying locking people out of their own devices for decades. Throw in the current trends of big tech and in a dystopian, but possible future you may not be allowed other devices than approved by the powers that be. Russia’s Max(?) app, anyone? Or the Chinees counterpart? Different kind of computerless, but there you go.

    In other words, this is a self-defeating wish. I hope not many people fall in the trap of adopting this standpoint. Wishing reality away is not a good strategy.

    Of course OP may have just attempted sarcasm. Which is fine.

      You, as a biological creature, do not need to be full in on tech. If you want to, then go for it. Have fun. No one is stopping you. To equate not using a tool or product as a disconnect with reality says more about you than me. I’m attempting something here but am not sure what. You’ll need to fill me in. “/s” or not “/s”, that is the question?
