I don’t understand why this statement is limited to just AI companies

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It has to start somewhere. I don't understand why perfect is always the enemy of making literally any progress at all.

If these assholes get a bailout we need to fucking nationalise them.

Those companies don't generate any wealth...

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

ok, people are going to be dumb enough to get ai to do human jobs and it would be nice if all that money that could have went to people gets horded

Sure America will do, the same way started countless wars to get their oil. What was every time ? The middle east is the enemy? They started it ? Fuck off.
