"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

they would have to sell us $800 billion worth of services over the life of today's data centers

$100 for a yearly AI subscription for each human is possible. The problem is, which jobs do the people have to pay for it?

Or, more likely, companies doing something actually profitable will use AI and pay for it.

I don't think so. Half of the population on earth lives on less than $6.85 a day

If one half wants to keep getting their wages, there should also be enough jobs for the other half. New jobs have to be created anyway.

That's funny you think they will stop at just covering their costs once they have each and every human depending on their software. This is about infinite growth baby!

It might be possible for people on the Fediverse. Lots of people working in the tech sector with a good salary. But we are not the norm.
