"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.

They don't want people having free time because then we'll educate ourselves and organize.

The rich certainly see this as fucking everything up.
