OK, if this is true and

Assuming that this information is accurate—and to be clear, we can’t independently confirm it

it might not be... but, if it is, this feels like the proper preamble. Beginning of the end. This AI stuff has been maddening. I can only imagine how it felt to be aware and skeptical of sub-prime mortgages in like 2004. That at least was tied to real tangible shelter that people actually used! But this has been so clearly a bubble, my dumb ass could recognize it years ago.

I know it's gonna be bad. Worse, the pain and suffering will be near exclusively felt by people who had nothing to do with it and are already the most powerless and precarious. But fuck if it could just pop already so we can get on with it!

They'll keep trying to ram "AI" into everything and make daily necessities impossible without it, like they did with smartphones. And they'll probably be successful because it's too useful as a surveillance tool and way to suppress wages/make work more precarious. It doesn't matter if "AI" can actually do a job, they just need to be able to threaten everyone into submission.
