Lol you don't need AI for that, but it's doing its part right now with the bubble.

There already is a permanent underclass. Do poor people by and large claw their way out? No.

Yes, yes they do. My parents couldn't afford coffee when I was born. My dad was able to buy a $600K home in the early 2000s that's worth double today.

Yeah, poverty has been a form of control for very long time.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's just widening the gap a bit more. It also widens the gap between the 0.1% and the 1%.

Much like the underclass of those of us who cant afford to read the article.
