AI companies: But don't worry, AI chatbots will create a UBI utopia where we will not do any work and we will have a future that will give us more time back and would never have to pay for work or food again! /s

Here's the reality: You are getting displaced.

Companies like Anthropic and OpenAI screaming about AGI are repeatedly lying to you as they raise more money while Meta (who are laying off staff today), Salesforce (announced layoffs as well) [0], Klarna (not hiring), etc are admitting this in front of us (and laughing at all of us).

Do you get it now? I'm giving you a 5 year head start of their plan before it becomes a complete catastrophe for the market. [1]

I don't think I can eat the output of some AI chatbot...


Pretty sure things are gonna go far beyond chatbots into robots


Probably robotic avatars like those Tesla bots You can be a servant for the billionaire class without leaving your home! Actually your makeshift hobble, you can't afford housing.


It’s time to take up socialism, folks.


Yup. If you disagree that's fine, I'm 99% sure you just disagree about the words -- it's time to take up whatever "real" democracy means to you! A democracy where increased productivity doesn't make people worry that they'll paradoxically have less. A democracy where power is neither hereditary nor selfish, but rather a civic sacrifice. A democracy where human flourishing is the goal, not a side hustle.
