It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.
Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.
If you put everyone put of a job then you get infinite money but an economic collapse that makes that money worthless.
Economic collapse doesn't matter if you:
Own the means of production to sustain your way of life
Have fully automated it
Can protect it using automated security
Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.
Dang I didnt consider that.
