the incentive to innovate and achieve productivity gains are on their last legs. As paychecks are lost and AI achieves higher internal rates of return that rewards AI investments, people have no money to spend on output.

Things will not be as they are today.

There is a term for this:

Guaranteed income, sometimes called "guaranteed basic income" or basic income, is a cash payment provided on a regular basis to members of a community with no strings attached and no work requirements.

How else will millions of people survive?

A goal of Project 2025 is to kill unwashed Americans.

Just if the cuts to our healthcare stay as they are the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan organization, estimates that 50,000 Americans will die per year.

Who control most of the media now, thats a feature not a flaw.

After the Heritage Foundation finish imposing Project 2025 on us...the TechDudeBros will shove them aside and impose their Project 2028, the Great Enlightenment.

simply by the incredible waste of hot energy to power its shaky fraud. You can't treat machine tech as immutable, made from some magic that doesn't suffer from time and entropy. You can't treat software like bitcoin and AI as if it is in some magical fairyland of unquestioned perfection- and no cost! They want to takeover and drain infrastructure energy and drain resources and heat up the planet by a huge amount- in the name of what exactly? What black flag leads this charge?

that no one else, of either party, has said anything to this level about how serious AI may be.


Oh yeah, a guest on the Daily Show the other night, talked about it.
