I am concerned about the long term impacts on the economy when more and more people lose their jobs from Ai and automation. What happens when the middle class disappears completely and no one has money to buy anything? Who are all these companies spending all this money on Ai compute going to sell to? Demand dries up, then demand for Ai dries up, and then pop.
Also, how do we know at what point we'll have too many gpus online from all of these datacenter build outs? They are just assuming demand will continue to grow but what happens when supply becomes higher demand?
And at what point is a model good enough for most work? If someone releases an opus 5.5 level model as open source, does the whole equation flip and does everyone go to just running a local model?
They lose their ok paying jobs and are forced into minimum wage jobs because Ai automated away their job. There is already massive inflation and regular people are struggling. This is why some people spout on about minimum basic income but the reality is that our politicians are too captured by business and special interests to implement the needed taxation to implement a program like that.
