Steve Troughton-SmithI'm pretty convinced now that in the near future you'll be able to deploy an entire 'company in a box' of AI agents, with the equivalent to domain experts in programming, design, sound design and music, marketing, and more, that will feasibly compete with the average startup. The OpenClaw cultists^Wfans will tell you they're already doing this, today, on Mac minis. If you think this is hyperbole or kool-aid pyramid-scheme nonsense, I suspect you're not even remotely prepared for what's to come
Warner Crocker@stroughtonsmith I think you're correct. But given rising chip and compute costs, we'll all probably have to seek VC funding to afford it.
@WarnerCrocker I think the billionaires intend to replace us; consumers only.
Jeff@stroughtonsmith @WarnerCrocker Their goal is to get to "the top" and then replace everyone below them with something automated to improve the bottom line. #money
John Gordon 📷@stroughtonsmith @WarnerCrocker Yup. Workers are the fly in the ointment for them. They can’t enjoy their lifestyle without people to cook, clean, drive, fly and make stuff for them. I’m sure that’s the motivation for EM’s recent obsession with robotics instead of EVs.
