Sometimes when I read articles from publications like The Economist, Financial Times, The Atlantic, and the like, I feel horribly out of touch.
The Economics of Superintelligence (archived) in The Economist provided such an experience.
The article lists a series of potential outcomes where AI makes us better (more efficient) at doing all kinds of things. And then says this is very bad and dangerous. I think their argument is that AI might lead to so much economic growth that we all end up poor....but not because everything collapses. We'll be poor because AI makes everything cheaper.
I probably should have stopped at their second use of "mind-boggling."
I was going to post the article as a link, but I don't think it merits that.
Thank you for thinking before posting, you even saved some sats!!

The normie mind is trained to fear affordability.

They are also trained to fear deflation above all else. The Federal Reserve Bank has done a good job, along with the state and its federated banksters. Their Ponzi scheme would collapse with deflation.

That's what I meant by "affordability".

OK, that is buyable. Everything is affordable if you buy it!! It is a revealed choice, then.
