So the end game for the current generation of AI companies won't be productivity improvements but gambling, just like everything else nowadays. That's why they want to get us all into these massive casinos they call data centers and don't want us to own the slot machines.

So what that you have ideas - other people have them too. It's not ideas that build businesses but knowing right people or ability to sell products.

The gambling trope is so tired. AI development doesn't involve luck to any appreciable degree, certainly not more than hiring people to do a job can be considered "gambling" (you never know what you're going to get!).

It's just paying to get stuff done, which is how it's always been, since the dawn of man.
