Well, that's a new kind of AI circle jerk...

This is the fever dream that makes capitalists cream their pants.

Generating infinite revenue!

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Anything that is infinite doesn't have any economic value.

Short term gains > long-term vision.

I think that knife needs to be used more effectively if all the pupils are to be replaced.

You do have to say that this school is preparing students for AI-obsoleted jobs of the future.

No, it's just training AI now.
