- p0w3n3d 5mo agothey want to reduce people to have possibility to create AI centres... Highlander rules
- bdcravens 5mo agoNo, I mean the opposite - they are advocating for fighting against population decline, and are waxing poetic on how to increase fertility and birth rates.
- morkalork 5mo agoIt's a real weird contradiction. They don't want the population to decline but they also want to replace everyone's jobs with AI and skip out on UBI. So what's the point?
- kgwxd 5mo agoSlavery. They've all specifically stated that exact goal as well. No contradiction at all.
- bdcravens 5mo agoSome of it's rooted with racial bias (most of Musk's discussion on the topic are focused on the birth rates of white people). Most of it I think is based in the continued dominance of the west. AI is good for information, but we're a LONG WAY from the robots doing the messy work required for human civilization to continue to function, so there won't be any shortage of work for a long time.
- chaostheory 5mo agoThey can champion natalism all they want but when they’re against things like remote work, which helps with affordability and time for a personal life, they’re not helping declining birthrates
