It has always been either the economy crashing because the AI bubble pops, or the economy crashes because the bubble didn't pop due to AI successfully replacing enormous numbers of workers.

    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.

    It's not AI it's UBI. AI is going to happen. What was important was an orderly transition to UBI.

    AI is going to happen.

    Oh? So there are hard numbers showing a positive ROI now?

    Frankly, it looks like nobody making decisions is doing that based on numbers anymore, and if that's a case, it is definitely happening based on vibes.

    Or not, if something new and shiny captures their attention before that.
