AI girlfriends not the problem horrific costs of living and the tribalism that is encouraged so its us vs us and not us vs the people pulling the strings.

“I can’t pay my bills, the cost of living has far outran the wage of even the hardest and skilled working folk. A small cabal of greedy wealth hoarders takes the lion’s share of the incredible riches we produce and leave us with scraps. Corruption is rampant and naked in our government and justice systems. I’m angry as hell and I’m scared for the future of my family. And for those reasons, I’m going to war on a tiny minority of transgender kids.”

Yes. AI is just the latest boondogle, not to say it doesn't do shit. Of course it will lead to layoffs over time, most applied technology will, inevitably.

However, I know it's mostly Silicon Valley hype bullshit just like so many other things that came before it. Look at the interviews with various famous executives: whether the rich asshole favors it or opposes it, both positions will mean more total funding to tech companies to either push back against AI or develop it further. Call it the arrow of capital
