They can sell to each other and centralize luxury and technology in their circle.

Mega corpos don't need poor consumers.

Edit:

Corpos want deregulation, monopolistic/cartelic market position, unaffordability for average people for education and technology.

The top few percent spend do much more money compared to everyone else that the top companies will happily continue targeting them and making money hand over fist even if the bottom 90% can’t afford shit anymore.

So obvious it hurts. That's why these morons should read Marx, who provides a clear blueprint on how capitalism works. It's all there!

How come these C-Suites never consider AI for the positions it would probably be best at: their own.

Isn't it funny how the "human employee removal ray" is never aimed at them?

The point isn't to sell, it's to control

Heard that CEO tenure is historically lower than it's ever been. So their response is, "sounds like the other guy's problem..."

Kind of seems like that's part of the problem? But what do I know, I'm just a toddler that stole Mommy's phone and typed this quickly before she found me and 6&__++3GFd GGG vgggvfh42467!:"hhhghgjjj!!!!!!!!!!

Other corporations.

Capitalism is cannibalisitic. left unchecked it will destroy itself, the planet and everything else with it.

They aren't looking far enough ahead to care.

You forgot the part where we're all dead and they're using AI to run everything.

Question:
How is Big Oil™ going to make a profit when the world is ruined and the population are dead?

Answer:
Lol, don't care. That's someone else's problem.

Once the military and its supply chain is automated, the class genocide can begin.

If that ever happens I see three possible options:

• Universal Basic Income
• Communism (money is abolished)
• Societal collapse

Absolutely you can sell the fruits of AI labour to unemployed people. Give them a universal basic income and a product worth spending that resource on and you can keep your 1% profit while the rest is taxed to support the citizens economy. You'll still be the richest man alive

Solid argument, but this problem is going to resolve itself because by then the planet will no longer be inhabitable.

AI was never the point. It was never going to replace the workforce, that was just a ruse to get enterprise on board; just like “LLMs will tell you any facts and do any research you want to know. It can create computer programs to automate anything you want. Image generators can make any movie or picture you want (even porn lol). Song generators can make entire albums for you.” was to sell it to rubes.

The real point is building out the cloud capacity so they no longer have to sell personal computers to anyone anymore.

It interferes with their profits when you can pirate, when you can create, when you can organize.

They will own the means of compute and you will rent the privilege of participating in society.

Of all the jobs, CEO is probably one of the easiest jobs for an AI to replace. AI is excellent at being heartless, gaslighting shareholder, and telling people what they want to hear.

The capitalists are far, far beyond forgetting how capitalism... works.

Just... Henry Ford, pay your employees enough that wow you've grown your consumer base!

This is like macroecon 101 shit.

So, theyre either ravenously delusionally insane, or, they're openly declaring themselves the new nobility/aristocracy for the neo-feudalism we now live in.

... or both. Could be both.

If they replaced CEOs with AI the AI CEO would be smart enough to figure this out.

By that point they can retire to a warm beach. The destroyed economy will be a problem for the rest of us.

Already, most of the economic growth comes from the purchases of the wealthy.

Normal people aren't profitable enough to sell to anymore. We're being positioned not as consumers but as slave labor.

Everything is rich people selling to rich people now. Vegas, video games, PC components—everything. That’s the inevitable outcome of all of this. And then these assholes complain when the working class tighten their purse strings for their own survival.

Sounds like a problem for someone else / some other day.
