This is just marketing bullshit, loads of companies fired a fuck-ton of people to be replaced with AI and it didn't work. "It's gonna happen next year so you better invest in us" works on finance goons I guess but fuck me this is just a tired refrain from these AI CEO turds.

We should really start a billionaire bunker map project.

The rich have been building their private fallout bunkers for a while already. I wonder if this is partly to hype up AI to keep the excitement going to entice continuing investment. "You guys, AI is so scary it's going to replace all these jobs." And I think it will, and hopefully not to a point that is socially destabilizing. But the real economy is already on the rocks, I don't buy it that recent layoffs of white collar workers is solely or even primarily due to LLMs taking those jobs.

The point I'm trying to get at is that the people telling us that AI is a terrifying world-changing force are the same people who need to keep money pouring in to their AI businesses.

Can't wait to fart in Zuck's bunker vent

What's the fucking point of being rich if you have to live in a bunker?

Game theory: why shouldn't private security just off the bozo and loot his bunker?

Every time they say shit like this, it's a lie to get people to invest in AI. That shit doesn't work like they say it does, companies are failing to actually replace workers.

I mean, its really thoughtful of them to build their own jail cells.

If the dickheads forcing AI-based unemployment to happen to the rest of us are all hiding underground, why the fuck wouldn’t we just kinda… idk, not do that?

Oh cool so the ai will take care of the poor so they don't need to work right?

Right??

Tech bro billionaires live in a monoculture where the imminence of AGI is unfalsifiable dogma and the idea of meeting someone who’s never used an LLM is unthinkable

Just add concrete and you got yourself a

They're gonna try to build self sustaining ecosystems in these places and not realize the tiniest fuck up means they gonna mess everything up. Despite money not being a problem I swear they are gonna cheap out somewhere

Let em have their bunker. They'll come out within a month anyway if anything from boredom. I doubt people who can make anything reality whenever they want are gonna have much patience for living in a bunker, no matter how nice the bunker is.

I imagine this could be some fun real live roleplaying... Gather your party, hit the local tavern for intel, find the guy drinking alone in the corner who happens to have some grainy snapshots of the bunker blueprints for 30 gold. Hit the general store for flares, duct tape, an extra hank of paracord and some propane cans, and set out to banish the demilich from this plane of existence forever.

Yea definitely nothing to do with climate change, no one acknowledge climate change, nothing happening with that

The intake pipes are a great place to route the post apocalyptic sewage.

The rich have been building bunkers since the start of the cold war, this seems like some sort of AI related grift.

do these pigs really think if people wanted to get to them in a situation of unrest, a bunker is gonna save them? eventually they’ll get in. eventually someone will blow or crash their way in.

The best thing to do is not tax them. I'm a temporarily embarrassed one btw. Eventually I will join their bunker

Underground bunkers need ventilation, and those are a great place to install public toilets.

hey like what if automation just like didn't you know make it so that a huge portion of society just had to starve and we just like all benefited from the reduced labor costs?? no? face the wall sir

This was an okay interview honestly. Felt like socdem slop. She drops "inshallah" unironically at one point, idk if she's one of us or speaks Arabic or what.

This guy made his bag early on and is now advocating against the current prevailing AI attitudes towards from freaks like Musk and Thiel. Dude's a pro-AI lib, but this interview had some good insights and the interviewer asked good questions about fascism, environmental impacts, etc.

One insight was that everyone in silicon valley is going all in trying to build an AI God, rather than focus on how the tech we already have could improve people's lives in areas like medicine. Nothing new to socialists but it was refreshing to hear and I hope hits for some people.

Cory Doctorow wrote a novella called The Masque of the Red Death about a bunch of tech billionaires who build a bunker and then retreat to it when society starts collapsing.

Pile high, pile high, the devil's underground

Pile high, pile high, keep the devil down
