no. here's why: TAI will spell the end of capitalism. It will be a swift and violent end, and I cant wait to watch it die.

the solution isn't "GET AS MUCH MOENY AS YOU CAN NOWNOWNOW"

it's "watch as the very system you inhabit fails and everything that costs money will be free."

its gonna be a hell of a show :)

Thats one hell of a bet. What if you're wrong?

Let me put it this way. The people who are best situated to take advantage of AI are corporations, as AI advancements are extraordinarily expensive and they have access to the most capital.

I mean, who is it that is advancing AI the most? Nvidia, Google, Tesla, Microsoft, IBM. Even OpenAI, while not yet a corporation, is a for-profit company that is partnered with corporations. They started open source but now the only actor that gets open source access to their AI is Microsoft, a massive corporation.

The only little guy is Stable Diffusion.

If you don't think they will do everything in their power to make sure that AI is most relevant to them and their bottom line, then I got a bridge to sell you.

It's possible what will happen is as you predicts, but it's so far from guaranteed that betting on that is a very dangerous game to play. Of course, it's entirely your choice of how you conduct yourself and best prepare for the future. I am just of the opinion that taking a proactive approach can only help. Worst case scenario and I'm wrong, then my outcome is no different than the person who sat on their ass. But if I'm right, then my outcome is way better.

I hope it's the end of capitalism. But I imagine it won't be so abrupt. There will probably be years of job losses and uncertainty. I could be wrong though.

The coming planned, global economy collapse will result in 3/4 of the global populations death. So anything "free" won't matter at that point. But, it'll be a hell of a show! :)~

> planned, global economy collapse

That sounds like something that nobody who's powerful and wealthy should want, since the global economy being healthy is in their best interest.

3/4 of the population dying is also not what the wealthy elite want. They're at worst indifferent to the suffering of the masses, not 'cartoon show evil'. If such a thing was being planned, it's unlikely you would know about it.

Who would benefit from the collapse of the global economy, and 3/4 of humans dying? Keep in mind that most scarcity we experience today is artificial, and there is an abundance of resources to go around so it can't be due to fear of running out of resources. Rich people read books too, and they're not going to be keen to kill off billions of people when among them could be their next favourite author. There are many other reasons.

What's a believable motive for doing so?

No disrespect intended. You are woefully lacking in basic research. The real wealthy elite, who tell the pope, monarchy and the Rothschilds etc what to do, aren't going to be in any news article or fringe exposé. They deal in entire nations and suppressed, advanced technology. They have DUMBs and can simply reestablish their NW0 after the smoke clears. The general population thinks too basic. You all have tailor made, rose colored glasses about this kinda stuff.

>basic research

What would be a good source for this research? I.e. Where did you find out specifically.

Where we look is important. I might have been looking in the wrong places, because the places we look often determine what we find, and therefore what we think and believe about how the world works.

Your ideas sound like unbelievable conspiracy theory to anyone who isn't looking in the same places you are for their research.

So my questions are: Where did you look to find out all of this? And what made you think that that place was a reliable source of information? I am not saying your sources are unreliable. I'm asking what they are, and why you personally were convinced of their reliability.

It's definitely plausible that we all have tailor made rose coloured glasses. But it doesn't necessarily follow from that that what you've said is correct, though it might be if there's a good reason to believe the sources you've read/watched are reliable.

The real wealthy elite, what would the gain from all this? What could they possibly want that they don't already have? It can't be money, it can't be food, power they already have...what do they want?

I no longer lead people by the hand to wake up. But you could read Tragedy and Hope or the Creature from Jekyll Island, to start. Or anything by Bill Cooper.
