"In an interview with Fox News that aired Wednesday evening, Bezos told host Bret Baier he believes AI’s productivity gains could let some people decide, “I can support my family by working three days a week. He claimed families in two-earner households could decide they don’t need a second income and let one worker drop out. The billionaire didn’t offer any specifics on how this could happen."

Wow. That is some epic Marie-Antoinette level trolling. Though in fairness to Marie-Antoinette, she never actually said 'let them eat cake'; that slur had been used on others decades before her time as French Queen.

Talk about vibe-coding economics. Big Tech takes control of the US government, and then leads people to a glorious AI future, but can't "offer any specifics on how this could happen." No shit. Perhaps it's because you're simultaneously telling investors you'll be worth trillions because of all the human jobs you'll absorb.

    once you start you cant stop and you have to be able to make decisive impact before they get their shit together properly. And anyone doing anything would have to sacrifice everything they have since this wouldnt be tied up for long time if ever.

    Only way to do it even a little safely would be if tons of other people rise up too. If they kill singular person or group it will just increase their control as rest will fear even more. If they start killing everyone then it will reduce their control as people will see that if they submit they will die. This is also why apathy and hopelessness is one of the strongest chains they have on our necks.
