The problem is that rich people fail upwards, and push the consequences of their failures downwards. Once you hit a certain amount of money, there is almost nothing you can do to fuck it up.
I don’t think the bourgeoisie fucking up their abstractions and systems of control is a collapse scenario. It’s a collapse scenario for their class, for sure, but we’re not talking about an ecosystem collapse nor a supply chain collapse nor a manufacturing collapse. We’re talking about the bourgeoisie failsons becoming as dumb and as ineffective as rocks while they thrash about trying to figure out why nothing works. Basically a perfect condition for the proletariat to depose them.
I would love for someone to extract the neural data of Bezos et al to make a simulation where he makes his fortune again by only working minimum wage and inflation rising higher than wages.
I have considered that the only way to stop AI research would be to develop AI based worms that try to escape containment and train new AI, but that won’t stop anything at all.
Its kind of economic ‘the aristocrats’ because it not working for anything, being insanely expensive, and giving mathematically predicted diminishing returns has stopped precisely nothing.
Please do not outsource your thinking to an AI
Call me an accelerationist, but I fully encourage the bourgeoisie to outsource their thinking to a.i. as often and as thoroughly as possible.

I don’t know what accelerationists think happens after everything collapses, but I know it’s 1000x worse than what they have in mind.
Don’t be an idiot.

You’re thinking too small. The singularity is here, time for Bezos et al to upload and reap their datacenterly rewards.
totally! After he uploads himself, we can turn off the cable and microwave his hard disc.

That was an amazing read, thank you.
Yes! I think you’re right. Silicon trillionaires is the best way for them to prove they’re inherent intellect and worth as superior to the rest of us!

Why would sabotage change anything?
I’m onboard, but only if I control the model.
