> we’re doing the industrial equivalent of eating our seed corn and there is seemingly no will to slow that trend down, much less reverse it.

I know I'm probably coming across as a lunatic lately on HN but I really do think we're on the path towards violence thanks to AI

You just cannot destroy this many people's livelihoods without backlash. It's leading nowhere good

But a handful of people are getting stupidly rich/richer so they'll never stop

I don't think you're a lunatic.

If you look at the luddite rebellion they weren't actually against industrial technology like looms. They were against being told they weren't needed anymore and thrown to the wolves because of the machines.

The rich have forgotten they are made of meat and/or are planning on returning to feudalism ala Yarvin, Thiel, Musk, and co's politics.
