I mean, that’s saying the quiet part out loud that I think more people need to hear and understand. The goal of these technocrats isn’t to improve humanity as a whole, it’s to remove human labor from the profit equation. They genuinely believe that it’s possible to build an entire economy where bots just buy from other bots ad infinitum and humans are removed wholesale from the economy.
They aren’t building an AI to improve society or uplift humanity, they’re building digital serfs so they can fire their physical, expensive ones (us). Deep down, I think those of us doing the actual labor understand that their vision fundamentally cannot work, that humans must be given the opportunity to labor in a meaningfully rewarding way for the species to thrive and evolve.
That’s not what these AI tools intend to offer. The people know it, and it’s why we’re so hostile towards them.
