After reading a good chunk of the comments, I got the distinct impression that people don't realize we could just not do the whole "let's make a dystopian hellscape" project and just turn all of it off. By that I mean, outlaw AI, destroy the data centers, have severe consequences for it's use by corporations as a way to reduce headcount, I'm talking executives get to spend the rest of their lives in solitary confinement, and instead invest all of this capital in making a better world (solving homelessness, the last mile problem of food distribution, the ever present and ongoing climate catastrophe). We, as humans, can make a choice and make it stick through force of actions.
Or am I just too idealistic ?
Sidenote, I never quite understand why the rich think their bunkers are going to save them from the crisis they caused. Do they fail to realize that there's more of us than them, or do they really believe they can fashion themselves as warlords?
