    "AI" is not gonna be ready to replace entire industries any time soon, but the shareholders are gonna force it anyway.

    Everything's going to become so much more dysfunctional, so broken, so unhelpful, so incorrect ... and it won't matter because your experience as a worker or consumer will still have nothing to do with whether stonks go up, and millions of workers getting replaced with absolutely-fucking-broken AI systems will ensure stonks go up.

      This is unironically how we get an Idiocracy-level broken world, not the lib-ass eugenics of "dumb people breeding too much".

        I think woody allen made a movie about someone who gets sent to the future where every task is done by computers and the computers are just terrible at everything

        It really is though. You think Idiocracy is a world where they let trailertrash become doctors and lawyers? Hell no! College will still be unaffordable and we'll still have bureaucracies populated by nepobaby sinecures. Idiocracy is a world where even the most accomplished scholar has no need to challenge themselves further than pushing a button to fulfill every want, but the push button automation is now falling apart.
