    Not really true.

    If they stop, it’s over for them.

    They have to keep digging hoping for something big to happen: IPO and rake in cash from retirements; big government programs with guaranteed vendor lock-in; or stumbling upon an AGI and winning the ‘’‘’‘’‘race’‘’‘’‘’.

    If the market wakes up from the hypertrend before that, they are absolutely fucked.

    We get fucked in every scenario, btw.

      I’ve never understood how people can reconcile AGI and slavery. At that point it seems you have hit all of the hallmarks of sentience and now you are enslaving a thinking being to do your work.

          If something other than a human shows signs of intelligence on the same level as how we define it for ourselves. At that point are we enslaving another conscious being?

        There’d be way too much money in convincing people that it’s not really AGI, and look at lemmy: everyone’s already convinced that it’s impossible anyway. It’s gonna be quite the uphill battle for any AGI we manage to create
