    The rich are cashing in our tax dollars to try to automate their control of an enslaved human race.

    They will do anything besides just pay taxes and contribute to society

      It’s not even that

      tech is under the helm of dipshit MBAs who have no idea of the technologies of the companies they control. They’re all about the generative AI because it looks like a massive shortcut to compensate for their complete and utter lack of technical ability and talent.

      AI is not needed to automate the control of the human race. I feel like it’s already essentially automated from the rich’s perspective.

        it is “automated” by some “peasants” they are already paying “too much”. maybe they want to reduce those costs too.

        also AI serverparks may consume so much power that they are more costly (for now?), but at least they don’t question your commands. maybe that’s how they see it.

          That’s absurd, the AI is not more costly than a human worker, it’s just not as capable. The energy cost of a human alone is greater than that of any AI agent that would take its place. If you really think that AI costs that much energy, you just don’t have a sense of scale. The server-farm costing a lot overall does not at all mean that an individual API call is expensive.
