Almost every comment I read on here sounds like AI. Even posts skeptical about AI are filled with these very similar sounding comments.

@hicasamadim 72

2+2=4
4*2=8

5+5=10
10*5=50

6+6=12
12*6=72

@ayeejuju It’s only 50/50 after the event. Statistics are about predicting the likelihood before the event.

@tenobrus The only hidden word I see is OooOOoo

[economicsIsScarcity @econIsScarcity]

@AlexEpstein We had access already. The internet already does that - AI applies it for us, leaving us dumber and less adaptable without it.

@ImQuaziSorry @HenryHonto @AlexFinn If you have the time, this is an excellent read. It’s a hypothetical scenario, but sober and factual. It makes the argument that too much AI success too quickly could be catastrophic to an economy built on scarce human knowledge.

@JeremyDBoreing But it consolidates power…

@HenryHonto @ImQuaziSorry @AlexFinn AI companies push this “narrative”themselves though…

[economicsIsScarcity @econIsScarcity]

@adam_dorr All the marketing for AI is how destructive it’s going to be to jobs. This is being pushed by the AI companies themselves. How do you expect people to react?

@hiarun02 What concerns me are the people who want humans replaced.

[economicsIsScarcity @econIsScarcity]

@MatthewTortora_ @Flyover_Wisdom UBI consolidates power - does that concern you at all?

[economicsIsScarcity @econIsScarcity]

@MikeMumbelz @TheChiefNerd AI is not something any economic system could prepare for. Taking humans out of the loop has been impossible until right now. It’s a new problem and no system is prepared for it. Paired with robotics, it will be a global catastrophe.

@mburm201 @IMAO_ Closest is probably the discovery of nuclear fission. Though it obviously had a huge impact, its promise of abundance were never really realized.

@MattWalshBlog Extremely relevant and in depth article about this you would find interesting:

@frank_zapp75081 @MoronicHeadline @MattWalshBlog I mean it’s a little scary. Our economy is dependent on frictions that AI is eliminating too quickly.

@HudichevaBaba @Lagud100 @RealJeffFreeman @VigilantFox Right, the analogy is limited. Horses were always slaves unlike modern humans. My point still stands though. If a technology like AI makes humans go the way of horses, we become useless eaters owned by those that finance our existence. An utter disaster for human flourishing.

[economicsIsScarcity @econIsScarcity]

@HudichevaBaba @Lagud100 @RealJeffFreeman @VigilantFox They’re reduced to useless eaters. Their existence is dependent on their owners.

@AThinksAloud Perhaps part of the confusion is because of the movie The Mask
