They'll make AI workers create products that AI consumes. They have no jobs that pay money, and we have no money to spend on their AI products and services.

Soooo.... they can have fun with that.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are forced to build out own economy and means of exchange.

I think I'll use tech and automation to do the hard and boring stuff. Make it to where I have more free time to spend on art.

Much better than automating art and leaving drudgery to a couple random folks to do manually.

(they do realize they're destroying their own economic model, dont they?)

(what good is a bunch of monopoly money and fake digital bank numbers if so few are participating in their system?)

The goal isn't a thriving economy in which they are on top of a rapidly expanding pyramid of wealth. The goal is a servant class that they can abuse with every whim. Think english landed gentry a few centuries ago, not the rapid improvements of the 1900s.

@darwinwoodka @maswan @tinker that's the bet:
kick the can. outlive the consequences. the best problems are someone else's. a legacy is a legacy, who cares what they remember as long as they remember
