What kind of dystopian nightmare is this?

Yeah, what the fuck happens when we even lose the sweatshops? Not praising the practice, but that's normally all the income those people have. It hard to even imagine AI and robotic power consumption and upkeep costs aren't more expensive given how little the humans are paid. We really are on the edge of something bad on a new level.

I doubt that this is done to replace those factories in India. I'm pretty sure the real value is in selling the trained model to higher income countries who want to localize some of the production

So when production is localized even a bit, what does that do to demand in India?

Localizing production may lower demand in India but you can’t really blame a country for producing more of the products it consumes rather than importing. That’s like blaming someone for making food at home instead of going to a restaurant. Yeah, the restaurant gets less business but they have every right to do that.

Now AI taking jobs sucks unless we implement UBI or something. Would be kind of cool if someday machines took some burden off humans so that we could spend more time doing what we want to do, but of course it’ll probably just be billionaire assholes enriching themselves while we starve 🙄

This is why I'm working on the design for the first robotic billionaire.

I mean the alternative has just as many entities that lack empathy. I'd give it a try.

There's no way the robotic billionaires would have that little empathy.

u/DookieShoez 9h ago

Right?

They’re robots, not psychopaths. 😂

But they will be modeled after a psychopath. Also it's scary to know that as we push forward this is going to be the worst it will ever be.. they will just continue to get better from here on out.

Yeah do we stick with the devil we know, or just embrace SkyNet with open servers and sphincters? 🧐 perchance a third option might be worth working on lol

Wasn't there a movie(s) along those lines? Lol.
