Who is actually going to buy goods and services though?

I really see this AI thing not working in the highly profitable way it has to to justify the money 'invested'.
It will be another wealth transfer and could trigger another financial collapse.
that's basically where we're at. the entire silicon valley prelate class who are raising immense debts and cozying up to governments to sell this stuff are all high on their own supply. it's been this way for 10 years now at least, ever since the evil emanations of 'effective altruism', which is effectively a tech-worker cult, started spinning up its PR machine. same bogus pseudo-philosophy that sam bankman-fried used for his crypto-madoff scheme.

it's naked self-interest and sociopathic power grabs clothed in the familiar language of philanthropy and sci-fi adolescent fantasies of 'post-humanism'.

they literally don't care who will be leftover to buy goods and continue the circulation of economic activity. they're all getting unimaginably rich in the very short term. it's 'founder mode', baby! break things!
