Sociopath greedy fucks fucked by their own sociopathic greed pushing tech explicitly hyped to cause mass unemployment. You first, finance bros! Welcome to the "capitalist efficiency" games you were so fond of running 🀣

Turns out you made a career out of felating oligarch dick, expecting romance, but they'd rather keep your class traitor salary and kick you to the curb. Guess you chose to keep poor company.

The robots are gambling now, neat.

I think the endgame is for the oligarchs to somehow have an economy where they profit without having to pay wages at all.

To which I say fine, so long as humans can form a socialist economy they are banned from participating in, just like a cheater in an online game. Let their hallucinating LLMs agents design, sell, and buy their products and leave humanity alone, antisocial greedy fucks.

This actually sounds more feasible than changing the current system, just make our own.

Yeah! Make it digital, decentralised and cryptographically secur... oh, wait. :(

That was my first thought too right after I wrote it, but I meant like an alternative government, that doesn't necessarily replace the existing one, well not right away. Just a long coup over time or something lol

The realistic scenario is they carry out the general ost plan on everyone else, while robots maintain production (no money involved), just goods and services going directly to the most powerful...

If you start a successful socialist society out in the middle of nowhere, they will find an excuse to burn it down. They say you're a cult, and you're holding people against their will or some shit. And you do drugs. And have "illegal" guns.

Fuck AI, but fuck finance bros too. Dude's have monetized fucking EVERYTHING and now it's gonna be worse.

This is actually just AI bots shedding their human skinsuits.

eyugh, imagine a generation of kids taught by former wall-street types who pivoted to education after being redundanted by their own business practices
