Insane strategy, Silicon Valley execs. Sell the thing that you believe is gonna cause the apocalypse so you can afford to have apocalypse insurance. That definitely needed to happen...
This is it.. how about these dudes stopped preparing for the apocalypse that they themselves are causing, and instead changed the reality they've created, thus preventing said apocalypse from taking place in the first place..
That would require empowering the poors and they can’t be having that

All these billionaires stockpiling in their secure bunkers have clearly never heard of the word 'siege'.
seige only works if the besieged don't have enough supplies and food production.
Well, if you can find the bunker and have nothing but time on your hands, you can get through concrete.
You don't even need power tools if you have enough time. Spent about £500 on disposing of all the concrete my garden was paved with, the only tools being a sledgehammer and crowbar. And like 10 pairs of gloves.

That may have been true before explosives technology was developed
There is a reason the trebuchet was invented.
It's almost like we should strike now before they have a chance to run and hide.
AI isn’t the problem. AI in a capitalist system is the problem. People don’t need to do jobs that aren’t necessary any more to survive unless you are in a capitalist system that puts profit over society. People need to be taken care of regardless of their “value” to the capitalist machine. Communism focuses on allocating resources to all people because people deserve to be taken care of as part of a functioning society. If we didn’t live in a harsh capitalist system of exploitation of labor, AI would be seen as a way to further enhance society and would be developed responsibly.
AI isn't the problem. Greedy, power-hungry people are. Tale as old as time (the saying will be even more true after AI solves time travel).
Capitalism encourages and rewards greed. Societies needs to organize around elevation of the overall quality of life, not around a system that rewards our worst impulses.

How's this prick planning to reach the bunker in case of societal collapse/apocalypse?
I'm sure he'll find unpaid volunteers to carry his ass, that he'll sell out once they reach the bunker.

Good to know. I will put it on the map of rich people to rob when life becomes a Mad Max movie.

For real though... Why are so many people freaking the fuck out over AI? Sure. A robot can replace a forklift driver or a cashier. But there are an insane amount of jobs still that robots or ai can't replace for decades upon decades yet. But people believe that chatgpt will somehow create megabot blue collar workers within the next few weeks
Because whether or not AI can actually do a certain job is irrelevant when the c-suite thinks it can.
I've become convinced that the c-suite doesn't even care of they think AI can do a job. If they can convince investors and/or the board that they should dump money into it and their golden parachute, that's good enough.
Now, if only there was a term for intentionally misleading people investing in your leadership into thinking something is much more capable than it really is and running with the cash...
You're underestimating:
- The speed of progress of the current generation of AI
- The number of jobs that AI can already replace.
- Just how many fuckin' people are forklift drivers or cashiers
- The will of your employers to be rid of annoying, needy employees
You're overestimating:
- The actual productivity of most people
- Your actual worth to your company
- How much company leaders understand about AI outside of "I can cut headcount by a lot"
I think the part that most people miss is that it's not about being a 1:1 replacement. With proper use of the AI tools we have now, it's not at all unexpected for one person to be able to do the job of many by overseeing the running and output of AI agents. AI isn't going to replace whole industries (yet), but it is absolutely going to replace half of the members of a lot of teams.
I think the thing I haven't quite sussed out is... Well, let's take Wal-Mart and Dollar General. Wal-mart and DG both have this weird niche of being both major employers for rural areas, as well as depending on nearly their employee base as customers. If they automate all their jobs away, who do they think they're going to be selling to? My guess so far is that all these MBAs think that certainly their customer base won't run out of cash by having their jobs automated away.
Seems to be the case for a lot of industries, even if not as blatant. The economy thrives when people have the means to buy products. You can make production as cheap as you want, you're not making much profit if only the 1% can buy them.

Is your vision for the rest of us merely a few weeks ?
Or can you see past June 2025 at all from where you sit ?
But what do those forklift drivers and cashiers do?
