“In an interview with Fox News that aired Wednesday evening, Bezos told host Bret Baier he believes AI’s productivity gains could let some people decide, “I can support my family by working three days a week. He claimed families in two-earner households could decide they don’t need a second income and let one worker drop out. The billionaire didn’t offer any specifics on how this could happen.”
Wow. That is some epic Marie-Antoinette level trolling. Though in fairness to Marie-Antoinette, she never actually said ‘let them eat cake’; that slur had been used on others decades before her time as French Queen.
Talk about vibe-coding economics. Big Tech takes control of the US government, and then leads people to a glorious AI future, but can’t “offer any specifics on how this could happen.” No shit. Perhaps it’s because you’re simultaneously telling investors you’ll be worth trillions because of all the human jobs you’ll absorb.
AI Could Allow For 3-Day Workweeks And Single-Income Households, Bezos Claims
I hope the billionaires rot in their bunkers after they are welded in
I hope their security guards turn on them
They will
It’s going to be step one, and I’m just upset that I won’t be there to see the Pikachu face
“No, you guys are supposed to put the collars on. Why are you putting one on me?”
This seems like the most natural inevitably. It will get to a point where their security details can basically extort whatever they want out of them. Sure they could try and hire another security detail… But what makes you think the current security detail will let that happen?
At a certain point they’ll have the keys to the castle, and know all the secrets, at that point, they don’t need the client. It’s just an extra pain in the ass
I saw a short news blurb about a guy who made a billionaire bunker consulting business, and apparently controlling workers/security was top of mind for the bunker rats.
I remember one of the recommendations from the consultant was to house the security guys’ families in a separate location. Dark shit
Ya I remember reading the same article. Stuff like biometrics and AI so if the billionaire stops checking in, atmos department stops working and stuff like that. If we are talking about it, they already have three separate solutions for it.
Baby, you could behead them now, why wait?
once you start you cant stop and you have to be able to make decisive impact before they get their shit together properly. And anyone doing anything would have to sacrifice everything they have since this wouldnt be tied up for long time if ever.
Only way to do it even a little safely would be if tons of other people rise up too. If they kill singular person or group it will just increase their control as rest will fear even more. If they start killing everyone then it will reduce their control as people will see that if they submit they will die. This is also why apathy and hopelessness is one of the strongest chains they have on our necks.
You hope but it won’t happen. Their bunkers are super hidden with multiple entrances and will mostly have automated defense. Who ever is able to turn on them from the inside won’t have access to the food storage and important stuff, they will basically be hostages.
I read an article about them flying out experts and paying them ridiculous amounts of money just to plan for these eventuality. I can’t imagine how many millions they dump into failsafes. They need to die before things get bad enough, once they are in the bunker and the outside world is broken, they win.
Only hope is a foreign power like China coming in and mopping up with bunker busters.
