People love coffee though. It's hard to be successful with ideas that don't work in practice. Elites can't force bad ideas to work long-term just because it makes them money. Even something like planned obsolescence does serve a need for novelty and improved tech to a certain degree. The most predatory digital ecosystems, like Apple, do serve convenience and quality at least. Economic exclusion is a problem though, but I don't think its that hard to be financially secure nowadays compared to our history. It's not like your going to starve if your crops fail. Just pick something in demand if you want certainty. Trades, nursing, logistics, bookkeeping, etc. You can strap yourself with steady pay in 3-5 years tops. A lot of people are impractical with their career choices (plus there's just less demand in general). We have a culture of entitlement to happiness.

If they are using tech that is not originally theirs maybe. An orangutan can learn to drive.

If true. AI bros are not honest people. With all that circular financing and circlejerking and shit. All signs point towards unsuistanibility at scale and a crash. China already got crashed.

Democrats want no AI bailouts. They want to prepare for a crash.

Doubt it. Source? If anything it seems to only become more expensive to run. People are increasingly using AI more, putting a greater load on their systems.

Value is relative. Your going to have a bias for humans, being human and all. You won't see humans like a crocodile or a tiger does, to whom we are either a threat or just food. Your family is more valuable to you than a random stranger, who is more valuable to you than a farm pig, who's more valuable to you than ants. Value is just ones bias for survival. Humans or anything else for that matter don't need to have value to exist and be part of what makes creation whole.

Then why did the Chinese market lose 480 billion. Even when cut of from western markets, a profitable technology shouldn't lead to such a bloodbath. That graph is like an executioners axe.

I can see AI companies trying to switch to providing hacking for the military such that they don't have to be profitable. AI is too expensive to run to be profitable.

I will never financially recover from this. Watch the video attached to the linked article. Locking out Chinese AI products globally was probably a big cause in the dip

Woman version of "you need to smile more".

A certain degree of precariousness is historically normal. You should be prepared to take care of your survival. Don't study animal anuses for 5 years and expect society to reward you without a plan. Handouts and welfare are probably going to get tighter as well.

A certain state precariousness is normal historically I think. We're spoiled by exceptional circumstances. A week's worth of supply is nothing too serious though and its been a precaution governments have pushed for a while now. Global warming and Russian sabotage means there are times when the infrastructure might temporarily fail.
