Man, I see this stuff, and I think, "my god! think of the opportunity we have to replace the current economic system with something where we're not all in a fierce knife fight to try to stay employed so we don't starve!"

We have to stop fearing the machines and start fearing the firmware running on our brains! It's capitalism that's the problem, not the robots... if anything the robots can liberate us from capital's death grip!

If Dario was up there preaching about replacing today with Star Trek I think people wouldn’t hate it. Everything those at the head of this project say amounts to the current state except abject poverty for everyone but them. When Dario donates his share in Anthropic to fight hunger I’ll consider being optimistic that capital is going anywhere.

Its not capitalism thats the problem, its that monopolies and capital concentration destroy capitalism, and we have let monopolies and capital concentration run uncheck for several generations. A capitalist system would be only small local businesses, no walmarts, no Tyson chicken, no google, when you have 1000s of small producers competing the price setting function of a market actually works, and the wealth is distributed among all the producers rather than the Walton family.

>replace the current economic system with something where we're not all in a fierce knife fight to try to stay employed

Jobs will become even more scarce, so how does that follow?

>robots can liberate us from capital's death grip

We are already live in a world sufficiently technologically advanced to feed and house everyone, and yet we don't.

It’s amusing to imagine the oligarchs are going to anymore charitable than currently.
