If this actually worked, the rich wouldn’t be trying to sell AI to the poor. They’d keep it to themselves.

When there’s a gold rush, don’t find gold, sell the tools

You misspelled ASML

We’re reaching the point where the real money is in the materials for the tools.

That’s nonsense. They would be selling the poor to the AI. Think the Matrix, but it’s powering a stock market machine that makes money for Bezos.

It’s classic MLM dynamics

  • The money makes itself! It’s impossible to not make money with this system!
  • You get to be the boss!
  • If you’re not making money, you must be doing it wrong — my (paid) training course can help
  • Heaps of unsold product rotting in garage/warehouse
  • Religious-coded language
  • Requires infinite growth to stay profitable for all current players
  • FOMO, “getting in on the ground floor”
  • Mid-levels taking huge financial risks to onboard more down-levels

And those same people were doing the same thing with crypto 5 years ago.

Yeah like the show Devs, the AI was hidden away from the public so only the creators could use it.

Efficient AI hypothesis

Bingo.

It’s not for the common people. It’s for companies that dream of workplaces with no people, Facebook which talks to you automatically so you can still be fed ads while your real life friends are asleep

If it worked, stories like in OP could be true.
