The companies involved in building out AI infrastructure, committed as they are to spending vast sums on capital expenditure, now face a not-too-dissimilar situation to the railroad companies of the early 1870s. In particular But in the last six months two things have changed dramatically over the last twelve months.
Wtf is this? Please tell me this article wasn’t written by AI
With the “But” capitalized it looks like an editing or copy error.
I dunno, seems like an honest editing mistake that is actually more likely to be human than AI generated. Probably should read “In particular in the last six months, but two things have changed dramatically over the last twelve months.”
I don’t fucking know (probably)
I went to Walmart the other day, first time in years. AI art on everything. Went to several stores where AI music was playing on the radio. Searching on the internet feels like trudging through slop. My work colleagues send me AI photos and articles. I’m constantly getting AI slop pull requests.
I can’t fucking take it anymore, it’s like the whole planet got infected with slop.
The rich will be fine. It is the rest of us who will be fucked.
That’s why we really need to plan on eating a few. Maybe an Elon Musk meatloaf. 🤔
why eat when you can PURGE, think of the rick and morty episode where they purged all the rich people at the end.
The ketamine would make that flesh seriously tainted.
Do we have to? Can’t we just settle for a back alley shooting or something? I don’t want to defile a perfectly good meatloaf with his Nazi ass.
We could always use him to fertilize a vineyard? 🤔
Ketamine infused wine…now we’re talkin!
I know food shouldn’t go to waste, but I don’t think I could stomach that 🤢
You’re probably right, he would be the Cybertruck of meat.
Feed him to the hogs.
Needs to be filtered more than that. Feed it to soldier flies, then give their larvae to chickens, then feed the hogs the eggs, then perhaps that bacon will be taint free.
Why couldn’t we spend it on better quality of life? It would have real-world benefits.
we spend
It’s not our money. CEOs deserve it for working so hard. They are 10x productive. They work 80 hours a day when your lazy ass only do 8 hours.
They’re allegedly that productive because delegation, and I too would be delegating if I too were in their same position so they haven’t done much more than deliberate. And if I were in their position, I would do the same shit.
I also deliberate and delegate as much as I can so fuck ‘em.
And most of that “delegation” is already baked in by hierarchical work environments so again, fuck’em.

The answer is capitalism, that’s why
How does that help the owners of the western world continue to make exponential money, exactly?
The Goal at the very top is to wholly, or as much as they can, eliminate the lower classes and all they deem lesser and live in, ironically, fully automated luxury space communism. AI, theoretically, is a path to letting them do just that.
If AI doesn’t work out their goal remains the same, and it’s not improving your life if you turn out to be an essential ‘lesser.’
AI doesn’t need to “work” in the sense that it does people’s jobs well. It just needs to work as an excuse to fire people and work as competition in the labour market. That way even if they can’t completely replace their workforce, they can at least pay them far less bc instead of paying an expert, they’re paying someone (with expert qualifications) minimum wage to be an “ai overseer.” Unless we elect leftist politicians that will actually pass worker protection laws then this will continue to happen and get worse and worse
It is like they watched all of the dystopian sci-fi from the last 40 years and decided “we should totally do that”
The AI bubble is the biggest rug pull in human history.
