From no cell phones to the collapse of capitalism

~ropocl

Pretty crazy that I grew up without a cell phone or the internet and I will probably live through the AI fueled collapse of capitalism.

Just thinking about how AI isn’t really the problem, it’s symptomatic of western society building entities that are solely motivated by profit, and now those entities have found the master key to eliminate humans from the equation.

It’s almost like the mirror image of Henry Ford wanting to pay his workers enough that they could buy a Model-T. Companies are going to automate themselves to the point that they pay employees not because they need them to work, but because they need the employees to buy the products.

Bartender… something a little stronger please?

It's a strange thing indeed, we are the bridge connecting Millennials to Gen Z, we grew up in an era that for the most part no longer exists, but we still carry with us not just for nostalgic reasons, but because we yearn for simplicity.
