Just listened to him ramble on about AI for an eternity on the radio.

We’re all going to die.

Are his advisors all so lacking in knowing anything as to have never spotted a mistake in Google’s AI interventions.

We’re just on the brink of bankruptcy and he’s diving headfirst into what the rest of the world is beginning to realise is a boondoggle.

    I know this isn’t the main point, but governments don’t go bankrupt in its own currency unless it wants to. Cause it can create money, like it now will create 14 billion to hand to tech mates.

    What is really constricting government is real things, like the power, water, chips and such that will be wasted in this boondoogle.

    This is good to know, because when they wasted those real world things and the billions are tucked away in private bank accounts, they will claim that the money is gone and now kids must work for their food, the old folks home must be sold of, etc. But that will also be a lie and all the promts and all the chatbots can’t make it true.

      The video that’s linked in the original post goes into some of that. From the misappropriation of money during the pandemic, inflation Vs interest, failure to tax that misappropriated money back. I just borrowed his click baity title.
