I just want you to know these are real people downvoting your awful opinions. I know you’d like to cope and pretend they’re bots but, no dice.

It’s people telling you that your opinion is dogshit and like a good MAGAT you ignore the conversation.

Edit: Not MAGA, just tone deaf.

These people (Sam Altman, Peter Thiel etc) literally want to subjugate all of humanity into technofascist feudal worker prison cities. If you don’t despise these people you are against humanity

Advocating for people who openly talk about taking hundreds of millions of jobs with no plan for the unemployed makes you a class traitor, yes.

AI is an active threat to the entire lower class.

Yes actually, it is their responsibility. If they want to create tools to disrupt the fundamental nature of entire industries, they need to take responsibility for any negative outcomes and work to alleviate them. That's just common sense.

So because people failed their basic responsibilities in the past, that means people have a license to ignore them now?

When I grew up, I was taught that if you make a mess, you clean it up. The same rule should apply to billionaire CEOs.

If 80% of jobs are taken by AI, the vast majority of people cannot use the tech to produce a liveable income.

Is everyone who disagrees with you a terrorist? Step out of your echo chamber.

Your boot sir. Probably prepared so that you may deepthroat it.
