Another cliff we're running towards. It's like we're playing societal collapse bingo with a fully loaded gun.

Here we are, just waiting for the next overhyped wedge to shove in from the left.

That's a bit dramatic. Like, if AI was AGI, sure, but it's not so clear anything like that is imminent.

They will try to fire everyone they can pointing to AI, and keep faking growth using the stock market as competition has been dead for a long time.
It's not the "sentient computers killing everyone" that is the problem, it's the psychopaths owning the text generators establishing a fascist regime.

The dotcom bubble was before my time, and maybe yours, but it happened, a lot of "innovator" livelihoods collapsed because you can't defy economic gravity forever, and in the end the underlying technology found it's appropriate uses in it's own damn time.
Even the fascist regime thing seems to be happening the old-fashioned way, and will probably have an old-fashioned eventual fate.

The dotcom bubble's time still had some US antitrust enforcement, like with Microsoft and its browser dominance. It was an easier time.
I feel this attempt might be more successful.

The hole in the center eats 90% of the performance.

Precious. Pretending it's a single wedge at a well thought out location.

And it will trickle up.

The problem with the "it'll go away at some point" is that the "at some point" might be much longer than what a few years.
This period feels to me like some "calm before the storm" or a "slow motion car crash". We have AI possibly disrupting a lot of the service economy, while automation is slowly eating away the manual workers jobs, possibly resulting in mass unemployment. People are really fed up with politics and electing more and more nationalistic/extremist politicians because they don't feel represented.
The economical crysis and this dissatisfaction is an environment very similar to when hitler got elected.
Last time we had millions of people dying and europe being destroyed, what will it take today to remove a dictatorship in the biggest military spender of the world? Who is going to save the US if it slides into dictatorship? -

It still missing something: A hand hammering in the wedge labelled as "fashy billionaires who want computers to function like in their favorite sci-fi".

You mean CEOs who want to just run AI instead of paying people to do the work.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two concepts
