    The planet is dying, we have pretty much given up on even pretending to do anything about it, and the rich are using the time we have left before mass die offs to get AI up and running early enough to perfect it.

    Just a thought that occurred to me today. In better times I would dismiss it as nothing more than an amusing conspiracy theory but lately…

      I do not understand what the hell the AI is supposed to even do. Like great okay so let’s say they get to the point that it’s trained and can do the job of a human then what. If you replace everyone with AI then no one will have any jobs and no one will have any money so who are the AI businesses going to sell products too?

        The end game doesn’t involve having customers at all. The rich think they just wont need an economy anymore once their slaves die off and automation and AI replace them all.

        They wont be able to help themselves though. They will get bored and start eating eachother.
