    He lost me at “the most transformative technologies in the history of humanity”.

    I get it, (some) AI tools can be useful, but a printing press or electricity they are not.

      You missed the “AI and robotics” part. He probably shouldn’t’ve conflated the two though.

        Nothing about the recent trend of enshitification indicates that billionaires won’t replace us all with inept but marginally more profitable GPT-6 clankers. Or maybe they’ll strap us to VR headsets like in those faux demos and bring back remote work in the worst way possible.

        But forget replacing human jobs. AI robots could mine asteroids and completely disrupt the precious metals market. The potential payout for winning the AI race is beyond fiscal description.

        This the type of thing that gets us from < Type 1 to Type 2 on the kardoshev scale.

          no, mining precious metals using space bots would just collapse the markets for those precious metals lol

            That is what I said. Whomever monopolizes space mining won’t be selling that shit on the market. They’ll be building more robots and computer chips and in general dominating all the other markets.

            Y’all gotta stop thinking like normal ass humans and start thinking like sociopathic supervillans.
