Short term profit.
Oh wow… Anon is the next Karl Marx. He independently figured out one of the contradictions of Capitalism defined by Marx. Congratulation comrade.
They’re trying to pivot to world domination.
Total enslavement of humanity, automated by their tech companies.
I’m not kidding. -_-
They also want us all to work in low Earth orbit. Check out Blue Horizons’ website.
Jetsons!
I see that 4chan has got as far as recognising the dichotomy between short-term and long-term gratification. They are evolving faster than I thought possible. Perhaps by 2050 they’ll have advanced as far as common courtesy. Well you never know.
By that point the earth will be so polluted they will make profits by selling us clean air/02 in canisters, clean water, food an housing. Those of us that can’t afford it will just die.
Be the Joker and burn it all. The money was the source of all evil. Don’t sweat it, though. It’s not a real problem because neither were ever any kind of real beyond anyones imagination. They were the imaginarium to the description of the ability to see exactly those facts.
If you can see that, learn how to spend all this extra time now showing what your love is for anyone you can do that for and to, certainly!
Scrub the palace floors… Fight amongst ourselves… Froth at the mouth about the scapegoats they’ve chosen for us…
the short-term plan is to slurp up all the stuff while they can. The long term plan is that there is no place for plebs in the automated future. The unwritten prologue to their sci-fi adventure is us commoners being abandoned to starve on a poisoned and resource-depleted mud ball as the intrepid billionaires go off to explore the cosmos with their robot pals.
Honestly you’re giving been way too much credit. There’s no long-term plan. They’re incapable of having long-term plans. Most these people can’t think past next quarter.
Well, these billionaires won’t survive long in space, and AI is a voracious thing. If the world’s population drops to 1 billion or less, it will save their asses for 50-200 years at most, and then they will all probably die or create digital copies of themselves that will also disappear. Honestly, I have no idea.
They could build their perfect utopia if kids these days just worked harder and complained less.
Tho on a sidenote what are the psychological affects of being stuck in a normally-inhabitable place where only the equipment can protect you.
How long does it take before at least one person goes insane and starts stabbing people is what I am asking.
i mean people in my country regularly go insane and go on shooting sprees…
Oh, you have no idea. If you don’t have a job (or 5), then you’re going to prison for being a vagrant. Or they do some dystopian shit where you are in the equivalent work labor camp, where you are provided basic life necessities in exchange for paying off your debt by working based on your skills. No skills? Manual labor in farms or construction.
People really have no idea what we’re complacently walking into. If you’re not rich, and I mean a few million american dollarooos or trump bucks… say next 10 years…? You’re fucked.
You’re damn right, in that case it’s better to gather a group of people and go build villages far away from civilization and live in them so that these bastards with their drones don’t get us.
Well, if people remain in civilization, some will be led to the slaughter, and others will be forced to take the mark like cattle, and they will be like sheep awaiting slaughter.
Manual labour is a place where people have an edge on machines because it’s cheaper to replace a person than a machine.
Medical experiments also benefit from having people to test on more than machines.
It’s to take everyone’s data and sell it. Like the stuff you tell an AI chatbot can be linked to you and analysed and sold to the highest bidder.
You’re panicking because people don’t want to use it because a the average person doesn’t really have a use for it.
Getting rid of money and having a heavily stratified society with the current wealthy at the top. Like a cheesy SciFi premise but realized here to live in.
It’s UBI, and no, UBI is not a real socialist plan. It keeps the rest of us poor with little possibility of social mobility.
Hahahahhaha they will give you an unlock code for an euthanasia capsule if you’re lucky they don’t imprison you for homelessness where you can have a job doing the last things that can’t be automated. Look what they’re doing to the “undesired” in usa; everyone on earth knows about gaza and the outcry is minimal, once you’re poor, and you will be poor, nobody will cry when you dissappear.

Any sauce or articles for the pic? Just want to share with friends and back it up
They’ll give us a means tested barely functional bunch of shit they call UBI once the food riots start. It will help almost nobody and run at 60+% admin overhead.
They will tell us this is efficient.
They’ll give it to everyone because nobody will be around to buy their shit otherwise.
Don’t mistake this for a positive outcome.
I truly believe they’d rather let the whole country collapse than give us universal healthcare or UBI.
If it ever happens it will happen as a fear response to massive widespread violence.
All these corps and billionaires. They can change their money to a different currency with a phone call. They can move money on that same call. They can just run away to a stable country when it all goes to hell here.
UBI is not a real socialist plan
UBI is not a socialist plan at all. UBI is what happens when you:
- accept the capitalist worldview that interfering with the market and the price system leads to distortions that ruin everything
but
- think that people deserve to exist even when they are not useful to you
You forgot they’re also whining about declining birth rate, and begging people to have more kids.
Something something infinite growth
The next step: communism, without the detour through socialism’s flaws.
