Thank fuck they can’t mage shit!
I heard recently this summary:
The US economy depends on two things:
I assume it will be something of a German model.
AI replaces jobs.
Unemployed have their assets seized.
Unemployed end up in camps.
Unemployed with skills and/or debt become work slaves. Work slaves die in camp.
Repeat.
Seized assets keep the economy moving until war were declared.
TLDR: you can have lower unemployment if you get rid of unemployed people.
What about an american model? Give the dumbest people the most weapons and hope they’ll all kill each other.
Or even better, give them to kids and let them do some mas sshootings at schools. This would prevent unemployment in the first place.
Replacing all jobs won’t create true abundance because the resources required to create things are finite, namely land and space in general
We’ll have solved these problems though, space wise whether it be by reducing ones footprint down to practically nothing, with nanobots ensuring our bodies get fully taken care of or through expansion to other planets
Resource wise we’ll simply be using fully renewable resources, we’re talking end game here, all jobs are being done by computers, there is nothing left for us to do but have fun or babies? I duno what we’d do if all jobs were fully completed and there was literally no work left
It’s also difficult to say how these problems will be solved without coming across like “it’s the future!”
Paintings reveal what people in 1900 thought the year 2000 would look like
“Plot” is a little too high an observation of any real power, intelligence and magick.
There are adjacent and other dimensions right and here now that no one talks about it. They never spoke the language we’re talking now because they were psychic. Vampires are real, but not what’s been said. Ditto on rich because money is not real either.
I believe it’s exactly this. This is like somebody coming up with a great trading strategy, once they scale it, it doesn’t work anymore (because they are a big chunk of the market now).
The assumption is maybe humans will find something else to do that AI can’t yet?
On the other side, given the miniscule growth of LLMs since gpt4, I am on Yan Lecun team, that’s all you can squeeze out of a next token generation model, so I think the bubble will simply burst, some fields will change quite a bit, but almost nobody will be replaced.
Thats the fucking crazy part, they simply can’t plan long term because they will be outcompeted by people only planning short term and that can’t be allowed.
Besides, if the bourgeois automated every job they’d just kill us so that we stop being a problem
The top 10% of the income ladder are already responsible for the majority of all consumer spending in the US. That concentration can simply continue as long as the consumption of the wealthy continues to grow along with wealth concentration.
We’re going to turn the world into Solaria. A handful of rich people living on vast robot-run estates selling goods and services to the wealthy owners of other estates.
It also would’ve been cool if there had been the slightest concern for ethics prior to its rollout. It’s potentially a powerful tool for disinformation, without any ability to verify whether or not the information it takes in or puts out is factual.
The fact modern LLMs weren’t given any sort of fact-checking abilities is one of the things that scares me the most about their popularity. Then they were dropped on us amidst an election where a perpetually-lying fascist was on the ballot? It may sound all “conspiracy theorist,” but I don’t believe that timing was coincidental.
We could’ve had something great if we had a society that valued planning for the future and doing the right thing. Such values could have been incorporated into the design of this technology from the get-go. But when business-people run the show, ethics are among the first things thrown out the window.
Usher in the AI led apocalypse with nuclear war, biological warfare or just regular war … kill of either all or the majority of human life.
AI takes over the planet either alone or with a few hands picked humans, probably just the billionaires who made deals with the AI to give them extended life or near immorality.

They just have all the money, and charge you to extract infinite interest on all the assets they now control.
VC is buying up as much water rights and housing as it can by the way.
Just an unrelated detail.
With every dime they can scrape together.
Then with debt and labor.
Then with lifelong debt.
No hyperbole, by design the system is setup to bleed people dry for every penny, not to create thriving nations or economies with many wide participants. We have been hacking away at hard won safeguards for 4 decades now, and the consequences are coming.
If enough of the people with the means own a majority of the assets, have little to no regulation to stop them, eventually you will be getting paid in WalmartCoin and redeem it exclusively at WalmartTown where the goods are all priced so you can never afford enough, just barely enough to get by.
We did it 100 years ago, and had to trust bust and outlaw it. But I guess we’re in for a do over.
There will be physical labor to get done. For a few decades at least until someone figures out the roomba of automatons.
So there must be some labor force. It will just be a much larger unemployed and underemployed contingent. And with extreme overabundance, horrible downward pressure on wages.
And so what labor remains gets squeezed, and the rest battle for the job of garbage man, or babysitter.
Honestly real economies have many factors, but I’m really just saying that absent controls, the system by design approaches a hellscape at lightspeed.

I like to imagine there are two possible positive outcomes
Climate change has made large parts of the Earth uninhabitable.
Now civilization is collapsing and the remaining humans are fighting for their very survival.
Now the companies that destroyed the world have neither raw materials nor anyone to produce or buy their useless products.
What is their plan to make money if there is no longer any social order and therefore no trust in currencies?
