    AI is nothing more than a way for big businesses to automate more work and fire more people.

    and do that at the expense of 30+ years of power reduction and efficiency gains, to the point that private companies are literally buying/building/restarting old power plants just to cover the insane power demand, because literally operating a power plant is cheaper than paying the energy costs.

    For the common every day person its 3d tv and every other bullshit fad that burned brilliantly for all of 3 seconds before snuffing itself out, leaving people to have had paid for overpriced garbage thats no longer useful.

      All technology in human history has done that. What are you proposing? Reject technology to keep people employed on inefficient tasks?

      At some point people need to start thinking that is better to end capitalism that to return to monke.
