Replace you with AI, and when the AI math falls apart, use your tax money to bail out AI

And they’ll get away with it too

[laughing_man]

How are they going to use my tax money if I stop working and don't pay taxes?

[zkmon]

Because AI is "too big to fail".

[spaceman_2020]

Wild that we all lived exactly the same way before AI

Really changed so little in my life. I just use chatgpt instead of Google search now

It's being marketed as some ground breaking revolutionary change when all it is is a better widget

Remove it and the worst that will happen is that I'll go back to writing my emails and my code by hand - something I've done for the last 20 years anyway

[donkey_brains]

No kidding. Except we won’t even have to do that; we can just run open-source frontier models. These companies are hosed.

[stymaar]

This the proof that guillotine is useful, if not to be used, to make the elite behave in way that avoid suffering it.

[spaceman_2020]

They think they’re immune. Even after Luigi, they still think they’re immune

[UberFly]

As far-fetched as it sounds, I'd prefer elected officials and the justice system hold people accountable rather than psychotic murderers.

[dofm]

So would those guys in the boats in the Caribbean and the girls in that Iranian school, but the purpose of a system is what it does.

[thin_carapace]

based

[ben_w]

Likewise.

I think it's a real pity that of the "four boxes of liberty", Musk has interfered with the first three: soap, Twitter; ballot, the lawsuits about million dollar rewards for voting; jury, selecting his jurisdiction, dismantling enforcement institutions via DOGE.

On the plus side, it's only "interfered with" rather than "completely eliminated".

Still, glad I have an ocean between me and the USA.

[YeahThisIsMe]

Obviously that's preferable. What if they don't?

[JohnFen]

I wish that such systems in the US could be relied on to do that as well. It's pretty clear, though, that they can't.

[cryptonym]

Well... AGI by next month sounds more likely than what you are hoping for.

[dns_snek]

Who wouldn't? In the real world, the top elected officials and the justice system are covering up sex trafficking of children among the US elites, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The system is psychotic and what's strange is there haven't been more people like Luigi.

[surgical_fire]

Speaking hypothetically, that is preferable, yes.

And the importance of the justice system working properly is that when it fails constantly and deliberately, many will come to the conclusion that the only option left is murder.

[ManuelKiessling]

Well, I really wish that anyone, no matter their income level or job description, is immune against murder; or are we just throwing out civilization now?

[edoceo]

It's of topic but, what if our current civilization is failing them? Like, of the system is broken and an individual acts to protect themselves or their family, the individual is still blamed.

That's how revolution starts.

And there are many revolutions that we (in USA) claim are good! Our own, from Britain, the French one. Of course others are bad (depending on where your vantage)

It's just that, sometimes the murder is (retrospectively) justified. Like in a war, they're killing us so we kill them.

But class war isn't fought with uniformed combatants.

And, in USA at least, many of our politicians are bought quite blatantly. If they aren't serving the citizens perhaps they have thrown out civilization and the social contracts first?

It's all quite complicated.

In general though, murder bad and government should serve the poorest citizens forst, corporations last.

[LtWorf]

Being denied medical care is murder as well.

[Lerc]

The guillotine requires being in control of the situation. It can only be used by those with the power to act with impunity.

It's not fighting against tyrants, it's a declaration of an intention to be the next tyrants.

[viccis]

China's doing it
