These bonzos want the world economy to collapse so there will be massive layoffs, allowing them to offer AI bots to companies and governments to replace human workers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Amazon didn't go the AI route that far. They are a marketplace for AI-gen products, they added summaries to their storefronts, but there is that as far as I know. What Bezos probably wants - is to see newer weirdos like Altman, maybe Musk to get choked, so he becomes the uncontested capitalist #1.

If that's what he expects will happen then he is out of touch with AI and its capabilities. AI nowhere near being capable of completely replacing humans.

In fact the main reason for the AI bubble is because billions have been dumped into it expecting it will be capable of replacing humans, but all it's really good at is making AI slop.

The only jobs it has kind of started replacing, but not really - more like transforming them - are software engineer jobs.

When the economy collapses, it will affect ALL businesses, and all kind of people will lose jobs, from software engineers to teachers to analysts. And none of those jobs can be fully replaced by AI, or it would have happened already.

Bezos is a fucking clown.

Another day in the age of the dystopia plutocrats.

It's like he's begging for it

Uh won't this have the opposite effect? I can see an article like this in the near future:

"Companies marketing AI replacements for workers flounder after mass layoffs result in increasingly cheap, plentiful labor pool"

I Sometimes wonder why we actually listen to them at all?

Said the man, unaware of how easily AI could replace his role...

...the universe does not reward the strong any more than it does the weak...
