This is what I’m not getting - we’re spending more than the global gross sales of all software on the planet on AI, how much more software needs to be sold and for how much more to recoup?
- jonplackett 14d agoThe economics only make sense if they can replace a huge number of workers with AI. But that reminds me of the story of the union rep telling Ford: “good luck getting your machines to buy your cars” (Fyi Ford took note and started paying his workers enough that they’d buy his cars)

- jonplackett 13d agoHow can it work if people don’t have jobs though? Where do they get their money to pay for anything? Also the economy can grow and still leave everyone completely screwed except rich owner classes.
