Dumbasses the lot of them.

Took that nonsense to Capitol Hill, trying to tell a bunch of politicians who knew damn well they are only there as long as they can keep their voters employed. They could have asked their own AI what happens when employment reaches 40-50%. Hint: it's never good. They were going to become another problem the government had to solve.

Also, UBI is non-starter no matter what Sam Altman believes.

> UBI is non-starter no matter what Sam Altman believes.

Do you mean it's a non-starter in the current political climate? Or that you personally just don't think it will work?

Now let’s see if there will be any real consequences for such reckless stupidity: my bet, nah.

If there ever truly were consequences in the oligarchy of the US, the time for that is long gone now. There will be none.

Of course not. This coming crash will be where we learn that tech is "too big to fail" in the same way that the financial system is. They'll let one player fail (likely Anthropic, due to the constant fighting with the government) and bail out the rest.

		I guess I'm not sure why you'd expect it to be any different than the dotcom bubble, when this didn't really happen. "Too big to fail" is a thing in finance because of contagion factors that don't really apply to tech; there's no number of AI company bankruptcies that would force your bank to suspend withdrawals.

Afer COVID and AI, the only buzzword left is WAR. Doesn't rhyme but we are well beyond funny.
