From a societal perspective, AI is a means to transfer wealth from employees to AI vendors.

Only 2 small problems:

1) Employees are slowly catching on to the scheme.

2) AI doesn't buy the products that AI produces.

Basically, AI is capitalism gone wild. The obvious antidote is socialism --- the forced sharing of the wealth that AI is intended to accumulate and concentrate.

3) AI produces black swan events every n runs and eats up a significant portion of the gaina.

Reliability and competence (or the lack thereof) is a real issue but separate from the societal impact.

i dont think those thing are separate because people are using it to make critical decisions.

Yes, this is a point I am trying to get across so many times and people can't comprehend that if everyone automates employees away, then your customers will disappear because they won't have money to buy stuff, because they don't have wage, because they were automated out of their job. Now nobody can buy your goods or services, you are going bankrupt as well.

The AI in Sam Altman's vision is completely short-circuiting every aspect of capitalist economy.

thats what, like 5 people? Instead of doing what capitalists and fascists do, should we just like humanize them? Point out there's like 5 people who are amassing so much power (eg, if a bank loans you a few billions, that's the banks problem) that they're scared?
