I'm actually serious about the wilderness survival stuff I don't know what the fuck the economy is going to become after this but one thing I know for sure is that the US is just going to do nothing and let people starve

@RustyCrab the mass starvation and anarchy scenario strikes me as pure fantasy. even during the period of hyperinflation in weimar germany, normal people still managed to get by without living like aragorn.
@RustyCrab if a lot of jobs suddenly become obsolete, then there may be a depression / recession for a few years until people figure out what to do with all the unemployed workers
@genmaicha im going to do some research and may come back to this post later but suffice to say i dont think your comparison is applicable
@RustyCrab however it seems unlikely that replacing jobs with AI will make anything cheaper aside from various "services" and webshit, which are both insignificant when people's greatest expense is rent
@RustyCrab The AI "thought-leader" types are sleepwalking into catastrophe, if they actually achieve their stated goals without making serious steps to mitigate the economic fallout ("we'll ask AGI" is a bad joke), they're setting themselves up for violent backlash and civil unrest on an insane scale
@scathach i dont think AGI is coming but theres a combination of factors thats going to completely annihilate the job market for US citizens. Unlike places like china we have zero safeguards in place and we have no collective will to put them in place.
@RustyCrab I honestly don't think AI is going to have much of an impact on the job market
Even if I'm wrong though I'm still much better prepared for that possibility than 99% of Americans, so I'm not worried about it at all

@scathach @RustyCrab I think things are gonna be really bad next 20 years
@sun @RustyCrab Yeah I think so too, but I don't think it's going to be because of AI
@genmaicha@stereophonic.space @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co USians HATE "useless eaters" on a cultural level already though. I'm worried that in a real economic disaster things would be worse than germany or the USSR collapse because of how atomized and self-centered the entire culture is
@scathach @sun AI is a force multiplier like a gun. Hire someone competent and they can do incredible things. Do what US companies are doing now and youre going to have an impressively large infrastructure of shit that doesnt work. Despite this it will drag along at a minimal level and give the guys at the top enough excuse to keep on course.
China will rocket past us while we sit idle. I dont think you're going to like what a Chinese century looks like. Shrimp and I disagree on that.

@RustyCrab @sun Excited for the volume of dogshit unmaintainable software to explode by multiple orders of magnitude 
@RustyCrab @sun @scathach people think I'm joking about supporting the Taliban. Better option than zog in the USA that's for sure
@anemone @scathach @RustyCrab @sensei child rape is more afghani than Islam and it’s always been there
@scathach @RustyCrab @sun @sensei I didn't mean you... I meant the guys supporting taliban and rooting for the destruction of the USA rather than the betterment of it
I am still a retarded faggot but you misreading me here might mean you'll need to have a cameo in your own documentary yeah?

@scathach @RustyCrab @sun @sensei ur good
Text communication bad and fedi is full of as much evil as it is full of fun

@anemone @scathach @RustyCrab @sensei I am pretty sure you're just repeating propaganda from a different source, its similar to iran where there was civilization in bigger cities but as soon as you moved further out it was just rural afhganistan where nothing changed for centuries
@anemone @scathach @RustyCrab @sensei its like anywhere else, you can suppress it legally but as soon as that pressure is gone it just comes right back immediately
@anemone @scathach @RustyCrab @sensei I don't think the usa has any ideological reason for that other than quickest path to goal. islam is just better suited to dominating the area and doesn't need it.
@anemone @RustyCrab @scathach @sensei I mean if you press me, sure it's interesting that wherever the usa dominates it destroys actual christians and actual muslims with degeneracy
