This guy is saying out loud what they've been saying behind our backs at their club.

Make no mistake, this corporate giddiness over AI is all about ONE thing: Replacing as many pesky human workers with AI/Robotics/Automation as possible. Within five years, unemployment rates of under 5% will be an old memory. Double digit unemployment rates will be accepted as normal. Millions of people will be unemployed, and desperate.

Then they will start criminalizing being poor. Too much debt, unemployed, need food or housing assistance? All of that will be illegal. If you require help from the government, you will have to work it off. You will stay in the detainment centers that were built for the illegal immigrants, and are now available, since most of them have been rounded up. Now they can hold illegal poor American citizens.

Those in the camps will be leased out to American corporations under the 13th Amendment, allowing prisoners to be forced to perform slave labor, to cover the few jobs that humans are required to do, that haven't been replaced by AI or robots. Those that resist, will be sent to the new facility being built in Guantanamo Bay, that will hold 30,000 of the most uncooperative. It will be America's CECOT.

And of course, using slave labor means even fewer good paying jobs for humans, rendering even more of them unemployed, and now illegal. The next stage will occur when there are more slave laborers than work for them, most jobs have been replaced by automation, and there are only limited human jobs left. What happens to all those surplus slave laborers, who don't have a use, and are eating, reproducing, getting sick, attempting to escape, etc.?

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has said that he wants to reduce America's population to 100 million, which is about a 70% reduction. Who do you propose that he's going to eliminate, and how do you suppose he intends to do that?
