This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Whose labour got exploited for micro-shit to have this much capital to blow?

I mean I ain't gonna cry about them potentially losing it but let's be real we are still a paying for this.

They get to take risks, if they win, it theirs. If they lose ohh well crack the whips to make up the diffefrence

They are draining their capital investment. Their employees are not paying the 5b.

If we play our cards right, we can all be bourgeoisie. Automate all alienated labor roles, let people do the non-alienated (ie meaningful) tasks themselves if they like.

For $20/mo, anyone can have a personal assistant that takes dictation, does research, writes reports, etc.

I know $20/mo isn’t accessible to everyone, but it’s a lot more accessible than it was before to exploit this kind of help.

Assuming we can keep AI unconscious, nobody has to be an industrial or bureaucratic worker any longer. Unless they enjoy it.
