I don’t understand why this statement is limited to just AI companies

It has to start somewhere. I don't understand why perfect is always the enemy of making literally any progress at all.

Excellent point. All i meant was I hope that this is applied more with regard to future industries.

Those companies don't generate any wealth...

at some point ai is probly going to be good enough to really take jobs so it would be nice to have some way to have companies pay in some form

Doubt it. People far too much underestimate human subjective experiences

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

ok, people are going to be dumb enough to get ai to do human jobs and it would be nice if all that money that could have went to people gets horded

Sure America will do, the same way started countless wars to get their oil. What was every time ? The middle east is the enemy? They started it ? Fuck off.
