Or the economy crashes by AI replacing everyone and doing an absolute terrible job, causing stuff like supply chain collapse and communication/power outages.

I have yet to see someone explain how this whole thing actually works out. Just a dozen different scenarios that turn out terrible for almost everyone. The only scenario that works out is if a handful of people like Altman absolutely rule the world, become de facto dictators as they are the ones that control the few AI companies that run everything. And by work out, I mean it works out for that handful of people. For the rest of the world it’s probably just about the worst case scenario. But you just know it’s the scenario scammy Altman is hoping for.

Step 1: Sell data to AI companies Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit

They are now finding out step 2 is getting absolutely destroyed by AI not sending people along to their platform. And the profit in step 3 is for the AI companies, not for them.

These CEOs are so shortsighted it’s beyond belief. Sure Google paid hundreds of millions for the data, but in turn it’s a death sentence for the platform. But hey it was money in the short term right?

On the other hand, you’re doing the first ever Moon landing, trying to manually find a good landing spot, running out of fuel and trying not to die. And all of a sudden your navigation computer starts throwing 1202 errors. That has to be one of the most butt clenched moments of all time.

Computer issues are basically tradition at this point.
