Person who blocks unions, severance pay and pay increases for workers at his companies at every opportunity. Who is also being sued in multiple courts for violation of current labour and discrimination laws thinks that he and other capitalists will usher in a utopia with high income for all...

I mean if you’re getting paid in company scrips, they can increase your income as often as they want! High income for all!
Of course high income doesn’t mean more purchasing power when everything else goes up too, but we don’t need to talk about that.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

I love hearing one of the guys who’s hogging up most of the world’s resources for himself telling us that somehow we’re going to get a bigger share. Yeah we will if someone takes it from the oligarchs and distributes it like we had in the middle of the 20th century. But he’ll be the first one kicking and screaming if someone tries it.

“Elon says” is surely a warning
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
It certainly should, but parasites like Musk are the exact type of people that are preventing that

Muck Rat can take his stupid ideas and shove it so far up his ass it reaches the cold empty void where his heart is supposed to be.

Feels like they omitted part of that statement, it should read “AI will create universal high income for people with high income already”

Maybe in a few hundred years when automated manufacturing is churning out low cost goods using the infinite resources found around the solar system (also gathered and processed by automated processes). But there’s no “age of jobless abundance” until the raw materials are so abundant that they’re effectively value-less. Which they are very much not, and won’t be in the lifetime of anyone currently living.
The worlds richest man needs to learn a lot of things, chief among them a little basic economics.

Yeah but everything he’s said and done for five years, probably longer, has been dumb bullshit.

You mean popularizing electric cars? Or cutting the price of space travel in half? Or covering the entire earth with satellite internet?

when musk says it, it's guaranteed to not be true

It’s a shame that our economic system has turned automation into a bad thing.

We’re on the verge of developing an automatic artist that can make your artistic visions a reality on canvas, no matter what they are… and we’re paywalling it and suing it out of existence instead of passing laws to ensure it’s available to everyone.

Why do we quote Elon Musk but we dont don't quote someone like MedicPigBabySaver?
xenu@kbin.social 1 year ago
Elon Musk is blowing smoke out of his ass.

This donkey needs to STFU.
Someone give him a silver rattle to keep him occupied.
