I just want to remind folks who are cheering on the AI Bubble Burst, nobody will be immune to it happening.
The capitalists bet nearly everything on it and if they lose (which they most likely will), what we're experiencing now is only going to get materially worse.
Now is the time to get organized!
I'm among those, and I'm fully aware that for us average citizens it's a lose-lose scenario; no utopia on the other side.
But at least in one of the two there's no (or less) soul-sucking and climate-wrecking technology.
@clockwooork And this is what bugs me when people like myself call for revolution.
Or for a general strike.
There is a singular individualistic focus on seeing AI fail that anything else that is proposed to soften the blow and make sure those in power are the ones who suffer get dismissed because at least AI is dead.
Or the war in Iran.
Sure, thousands if not millions will die, but maybe this will get us off oil.
But I'm not dismissing anything that softens the blow! In fact, I'm on Mastodon, which is exactly one of such ways: an alternative platform that aims to become an alternative to enshittified platforms.
I love alternatives, and I'm all in favor of building dual power & safety nets for the people who will be inevitably screwed by bailouts and whatnot
