Where the fuck do they get this money from? $300 billion is fucking nuts. And 1.4 trillion in costs is literally bigger than my countries' entire GDP (Australia)

    The 1% is willing to pay whatever imaginary fiat currency they can to eliminate the need for the working class. Then they can finally get rid of us.

    While simultaneously acting like a bunch of whining little crybabies about declining fertility rates.

    Which is it: AI (and other automation) will replace jobs, or there aren't enough people to work all the jobs?

    Hedging their bets. They're only capable of being sure of the future as the next person, which isn't very capable at all. But they have the ill-gotten means to back both sides so they continue to be on top.

    It's not that. Nobody really expects to achieve firm satisfactory result in something never done before, to justify the risk.

    It's a bubble. That they found money to make such an input into inflating it just means the outcome of said bubble bursting is this good for them.

    I'm interested what exactly will happen when it bursts. A dictatorship, or a blitzkrieg against half of the world, or what else.

    Funny thing is, CNN has been a Fox clone for a few years now.

    they probably want to turn it to 100, they were lite clone. CBS turning into it too. they want all networks to eventually be only right wing propaganda. people on Paramount+ for the sake of trek should be aware theya re supporting this.

    Financial engineering, and they are one of the biggest producers of computer hardware for a long time. There's more business and personal consumers than ever. Everyone's getting online now, and the AI purchasing frenzy is helping a lot.
