I’m convinced, at this point, the bourgeoisie is intentionally trying to trigger a non-nuclear mass casualty event (ie famine, disease, mass poverty, etc) to cull the population. They’re building bunkers while sewing the seeds for everyone else’s destruction.
No, the capitalists know they need people. It’s a big worry for them. Companies have to grow, but you can’t grow your market if the number of consumers and workers goes down.
At the same time they know that anything to save people is expensive in short term. And they always choose short term first.
They already have AI employees, soon they will have AI customers.
What is an AI employee gonna do with beer, pizza, or airline tickets? Sure, little freaks like Musk and Altman would love a world where its them and n billion chatbots and not a single other loving soul, but our economy is tooled for making things people need. You might be able to retool it into a paperclip machine that only makes compute and energy but it would bother a lot of very deep pockets in the process.
They will buy your RAM, your electricity, your oil, your crops will be used for biomass energy etc.
So not literally beer, pizza or airline tickets, but the wheat that goes into your beer and pizza can be used for biomass energy to power data centers that (each!) already use up more energy than entire cities. And the airplane will transport RAM and computer chips instead of people.
This will cause the price of the things you mentioned to go up, causing people to buy less and less of them. The economy will adapt to whoever pays most. A mere 30 years ago our economy wasn’t adapted to the internet at all, and just look at us now…
Why cull the population? Not to offend you but this is such a flat-earth level of a conspiracy that doesn’t even make sense if you spend more than 5 minutes on it.
