    They know exactly what they are doing. They are all desperate to be in charge of our new AI powered overlords.

    AI doesn’t benefit anyone on this planet whatsoever except wealthy people at the end of the day. It only serves to oppress the majority of the populace otherwise, one way or another.

      That’s totally unfounded statement. As in no proof of any statement whatsoever. I am sure luddites were saying similar things.

        It’s basic economics, actually. The same way any other automation only serves to reduce human workforce and increase profits. You think factory automation serves to benefit the general masses somehow? What do you think all these robots are going be doing? Wandering around and helping the general public isn’t profitable for the long list of wealthy individuals trying to make them a reality 🤣

          You wouldn’t have the computer you’re complaining from without hundreds of years of automation and tools making labor more efficient to make it happen.

            With humans having created these tools. Now the goal is to automate the humans away as much as possible. Complete shift from the past examples and experiences you’ve mentioned.
