After years of hype, and trillions of dollars, the AI boom will leave us with a captured economy, a corrupted democracy, and a devastated environment. We can't let them get away with it. substack.com/home/post/p-...

So, in your other post, you say the AI boom will collapse. But, here you say it will capture the economy, so which is it?

I think you have a bit of a contradiction saying AI is both useless and taking people's jobs. You can't not have your cake and don't eat it. I think your problem is actually with cronyism, which is apparent under any system, not capitalism itself, which has no doubt granted you modern life.

Capitalism had no doubt granted you your modern life however it has also granted extreme poverty to others in the same country and granted exploitation to those in poorer ones .... Oh and systemic ecological collapse for the entire world it's granted that too.

Omg, you have this completely backwards. Poverty is the default state of every organism, every species, including humanity. Capitalist, free market systems have in a large part granted us modern life. It's so good that people become complacent and start arguing against it.

Something can be both useless and taking people's job so long as the people who hold power over said jobs don't care about the quality of the output ,no?

In theory yes, but that makes no sense in the real world. Any organisation in the market who makes themself worse is not going to last very long. Her argument makes no sense.
