They're going all-in on AI because they know they've accumulated too much power and the backlash is coming. They're trying to eliminate the need to keep the poors around for things like labor and security.

This meme doesn't make sense because "i dont know" is hardly an option for them, seems more like OP doesn't know what to say

To me, it means they're not self aware enough to conceive of a second choice.

Then it should repeat the options instead of IDK

My point is the meme format is used incorrectly.

The other button should say "raping children" and then they should press both. Epstein had a lot of customers.

Destabilizing the very society that your godlike levels of wealth and power are built on seems... kind of stupid, right?

The alternate button is to divest from AI, so they can profit from sustainable enterprises.

No such button exists

The button likely exists, but that button's profits are infinitesimally smaller than the other button's profits.

Hence, effectively no button.

Effectively no button to a button presser that is only interested in maximum possible profit (which is the billionaire perspective), but the button absolutely exists and they choose not to press it.

are they tho? maybe for a quick buck. there are lots of factors. for example, unemployed ppl can consume less and pay less taxes, which is bad for the economy as a whole and can devalue the invesrments in all companies of a region.

Sustainable business is far less profitable than maximizing profits. The billionaires' goal is self enrichment irrespective of the impact to others. This is why they're not pressing the "small profits, sustainable business button".

there are lots of factors. for example, unemployed ppl can consume less and pay less taxes, which is bad for the economy as a whole and can devalue the invesrments in all companies of a region.

Why does a billionaire care about the holistic outcome when there is enough inside their zero sum game for them to still benefit the most?

The middle class was destroyed the second Clinton signed the deal with China. It's just been a slow death from there.

But to blame AI is crazy, because the middle class has almost completely disappeared 10 years ago before AI. Middle class is about 10% today, and it was 15% 10 years ago
