> the prepper movement among tech-made billionaires is largely inspired by fear that artificial intelligence will one day displace so many jobs that there will be a revolt against those behind the technology. Something something worker ownership of the means of production something something. Seriously though, workers should be the first to benefit from automating their own jobs out of existence. It's been over a hundred years since marxists talked about what they perceived as the inherent contradictions of a capitalist system. Automation and the struggle for a livelihood in the face of falling wages and growing profits isn't new. Technology has changed but the fundamental conflicts remain unsolved. So while we can all debate here about the effectiveness of bunkers, we're glossing over the systemic problems that necessitate the capitalist class to hide in bunkers in the first place. At least we've moved on to the point where most recognize that there could be an existential problem accelerating toward us. One thing I'm sure of, the class of YC 2035 will have great uber-for-bunker-security apps.
