> 2) AI doesn't buy the products that AI produces.

Yes, this is a point I am trying to get across so many times and people can't comprehend that if everyone automates employees away, then your customers will disappear because they won't have money to buy stuff, because they don't have wage, because they were automated out of their job. Now nobody can buy your goods or services, you are going bankrupt as well.

The AI in Sam Altman's vision is completely short-circuiting every aspect of capitalist economy.

I think that they don't care. They wont go bankrupt. They will keep what they have, which is a lot already. A stagnant world with few rich who can do whatever and many poor does not bother them, it is the goal. They already got theirs.

They already got theirs.

Yes, but the system they're building is unsustainable. What they've got can be taken away. It's been done before.

They don't believe it can be

They think they can hide far enough away, or hire enough muscle or eventually build autonomous drone defenses that don't rely on other people, to keep themselves safe

They might even be right

They don't believe it can be

Then they are truly naive.

Living in isolation is not really practical and not much fun even if it was.
