I think it’s a symptom, or a tool of the “upper classes”.
Yeah, it could just as easily be used to distribute small pieces of the remaining work amongst the masses and give everyone very small jobs that pay a lot. It’s not the tool, it’s how you use it.
No, but it could continue what feudalism did and Capitalism maintained.
Like one hasn’t existed for thousands of years??
Actually effective AI paired with robotics would eliminate the need for a large underclass.
And you might note the glorification of mass slaughter the past few years.
There already is a permanent underclass. Do poor people by and large claw their way out? No.
Yeah, poverty has been a form of control for very long time.
The point is a complete and utter removal of social mobility
Yeah I just think that was already complete before AI as much as it can
yea, Ai is a permanent barrier.
It’s just widening the gap a bit more. It also widens the gap between the 0.1% and the 1%.
Yes, yes they do. My parents couldn’t afford coffee when I was born. My dad was able to buy a $600K home in the early 2000s that’s worth double today.
That’s the reason for the qualifier “by and large.” Yes, it is possible, but not equally achievable for all people in poverty be it due to individual circumstance or lack of personal ability. I’m quite happy for your parents and I’m sure they must have worked hard to find success. But the system would not allow for the underclass as a whole to find a way out of poverty at the same time. The only way that can happen is to change the system.
How much a home is worth is irrelevant as long as you need a place to live. Where is he going to live if he sells it?
The point is he’s doing okay
As a guy who clawed my way out of poverty, I can warn you: People who state those opinions on the Internet almost never want to hear about a success story — even if it could help others. (Not that downvotes even matter though)
That’s not an opinion, it’s an anecdote. Even if it were true, it does not contradict the first guy’s claim that “by and large” poor people do not leave poverty.
I got banned from Twitter (good riddance anyway) for saying that data centers are an excuse to take comtrol of computer from the masses
So…yes?
Much like the underclass of those of us who cant afford to read the article.
They mean capitalism.
capitalism has more social mobility than feudalism
Lol you don’t need AI for that, but it’s doing its part right now with the bubble.
