Social Security Could Be Under Threat From AI

[Picaro]

16. AI is the core problem for the global economy

The elephant (or mastodon or brontosaurus…) in the room is that the reason all these mega corporations are going all in on AI is that they can envision a time when they can dispense with their highly trained knowledge workers. These are the expensive ones.

AI can’t do it now, but the El Dorado these corporate leadership teams are dreaming of is an employee-less future.

If AI becomes as capable as these corporate sociopaths want it to be the world will sink into an economic depression that it will never emerge from.

What does a consumer economy look like when the consumers cannot buy living space and food much less spend at a level that will sustain a growing economy?

Well, it will be something worse than the Great Depression.

And that would take down everything—not just Social Security.

These corporate overlords want to make humans superfluous.

I am starting to think that we all need to become neo-Luddites. And I’m a technology guy of 40+ years.
