Is everyone in America just constantly crashing out right now, or acting normal by their standards? (lemmy.ml)

In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

I do not think the leaders believe that AI is going to replace most jobs. They definitely believe that they can use the threat of AI taking most jobs to further exploit the working class.

    They really do though. Like, you're assuming a level of rationality that they don't possess.

    Americans really struggle to come to terms with their elites and leaders being fucking evil instead of merely stupid.

    Jesus christ, look at your fucking history. Evil doesn't always look like some hollywood ass villain.

    After a certain point it doesn't matrer, but still come ON

    Yeah that's mostly a justification for layoffs. They're not competitive robotics manufacturing AI that cuts down the need for enormous chunks of capital for factory floor space + varied equipment + switching things up to change what you're producing. They're not competitive on the large computational engineering models important for R&D (which they're not doing either) and iterating new rocket engines. It's a giant grift, but people need to be careful not to universalize the values of Silicon Valley AI companies.
