I've never had any savings that can be influenced by a stockmarket crash, so I'll be fine

Gen X here - we had a good quiet 20 years and then everything went entirely to hell.

Just a tuesday

“Whoops, our AI agent went rogue and took all your money.”

It will scurry into its little hole nicihe just like nft's and crypto, it will stay around, but eventually, all the bullshit will die down... And we will move on to the next bullshit...

Absolutely, we told the wealthy to gamble recklessly and they'll get bailed out, then printed money for them to do it. When we turned off the money printer, they got big mad and now we'll all pay for it.

Thanks Bush Jr!

AI does not do anything by itself - it only does whats instructed

This. So much this

Don't worry everyone else does as well for some fucking reason it's not just the ceos.

Calories, energy, and ammo.

plus, if the financial system collapses the cash won't be worth the paper it's printed on.

imagine this kind of product marketing in 90s or something. "Hey everyone! We made something that is really really bad and dangerous (but also oh so very potent!!), it will end the world as we know it in a bad way just any day now! Look out, there it potentially goes! Soon we will be out of electricity and food, banks will collapse and nukes will fly! Isnt our product wonderful!!!"

Not only has the other shoe dropped for the world, entire warddrobe got thrown out as well.

every day the newspapers had articles about how we were on the verge of nuclear war

And it was true. For example, at least in one instance, a single person prevented it.

Something being likely and there being reports about it, does not mean that the risk wasn't real if the threat is eventually prevented.

There's plenty of evidence to support the claims of AI causing havoc on the economy when it finally fails. It's an economically unviable product built by stealing from literally the entire world and then using obscene amounts of resources to function.

I hear you. You missed the hole in the ozone layer though.

Just because we stumbled through a whole bunch of world-ending things in the past mostly unscathed doesn't mean we'll continue to do so.

AI won’t, but the entities responsible for it will.

Perhaps not AI itself and perhaps not the actual system, but if/when the bubble bursts it absolutely will do a lot of financial damage.

They will try and pass the fallout onto the people, similarly to how they did in 2008, with the mortgages being used to hedge their stock market bets (bad ones at that) after regulations were removed to safeguard that from happening and people lost their homes, the banks got bailed out. The people responsible got no punishment. They do this same shit all the time. They shoot too high hoping it'll catch on, and if it doesn't they don't pay the price. This time, we need to stand with whomever wears the cost and make sure the richest are the ones who pay. The ones responsible for this. They all go under, or we take them down.

Eta, this article is bullshit tho

You are a moron if you think it has 0% chance.

They think that can buy their way out of the consequences, and they are right. Economic crashes will not functionally hurt those people and they won’t be affected by climate change other then having to buy a different set of houses. Also a couple of them are trying to build Elysium.

What metrics do they look at to know if the end of the world is going to happen? What historical context patterns do they look at? "actually" destroy the world as if they know what "actually" will destroy their worlds

Show me a single source that has any proof of AI being economically viable.
