For all these former-AI-booster takes and realizations about the nightmare they’ve ushered in, I’ve yet to see anyone really comprehend why this is happening and why it won’t stop. It isnt just “shareholders like AI.”
This is the final bet. If one of these companies figures it out, they genuinely believe it’ll be the end of workers, the end of labor cost, and the dawn of an era of unlimited profit. They believe that. I mean what’s far more likely is that it rapidly gets hooked into the MIC and we get actual Skynet kicking off the Apocalypse. Or maybe just the complete annihilation of the economy as we all get a global experiment in what it looks like when “consumers” don’t exist anymore and everything is 100% supply side. But not one of these “rational actors” can bear the thought that they’d miss out on a bet with an infinite possible payout, therefore any amount must he wagered.
