Surveillance fascism needs the RAM, compute, and storage to implement totalitarianism and autonomous killing machines that won't refuse to genocide the proles once they realize climate change is significantly worse than advertised, and our "democracies" are an illusion controlled by a big club of plutocrats.
When the AI bubble pops, the US government will bail out all the tech companies, and all of the debt will be transferred to the working class via our retirement account losses and inflation; no different to the trillions in "forgiven" corporate loans central banks around the world printed during covid. The working class will essentially pay for the nazi big brother and nazi skynet that enslaves them.
Thanyou for coming to my conspiracy theory ted talk.
I’ve been starting to think that once the bubble begins to pop, the US will bail out the banks by buying up their loans to hyperscalers, and they’ll start writing giant surveillance contracts to AI companies to compensate for the lack of demand. The rich get richer and the resulting stock corrections will end up hurting regular people most
Yeah, whether they buy the excess hardware in a fire-sale, nationalize open AI/Anthropic into the DoD on nat sec grounds, or just sign several hundred billion dollar contracts with them, we're just splitting hairs. The threat and their intentions remain the same.
