Elon Musk is a great example of what happens when you lose grasp on reality. He's been spouting post-scarcity nonsense for some time now like humanity is anywhere close to achieving it. And worst of all, his grand plan is to build expensive sentient humanoid robot slaves to achieve it. The timeline to achieve it is really short, like 20 years.
It's like the ultimate end-game of capitalism. Once Elon has every single last dollar he has "won" and humanity can transition to a post-market economy. This is why you never let game theory guys anywhere near positions of actual power.
- Sabinus 5mo agoWhy is capitalism innovating itself into irrelevance and ending the need for toil a bad thing? We can redistribute resources differently when that's the economic reality. If Elon wins capitalism and we change to a different economic model isn't that progress?
- jandrese 5mo agoElon winning means everybody else loses. The different economic model you get afterward is corporate feudalism.
