The AI Doomers Who Are Playing with Fire
gizmodo.comI don't condone people being hurt. Even convicted criminals.
However if AI does indeed go on to make masses of people unemployed in a short period, I would kinda understand them destroying datacenters. In fact I wonder if this is the real reason Musk wants to put them in orbit.
And yes I know humanity has gone through these phases before. But not at this speed and this scale. In the past humanity has had decades to adjust to these things. I don't think that will be the case here.
AI truly has the ability to screw up people's lives, while the proceeds go to an ever richer group of people who have insanely much money. This can't continue.
This process of wealth centralisation was also going on already (it probably started with Reagan's 'trickle down' fallacy). but AI has the capability to catalyze this and speed this up.
The idea of putting datacenter in space is just hype marketing. There's no business value in it whatsoever. He just needs to maintain "moonshot"-level hype around his companies to keep investors happy.
I'm not saying "go out there and hurt billionaires".
But I am saying that if billionaires ocasionally got hurt by someone who was being oppressed by their actions, they would be a lot less unhinged.
This is kinda happening already: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/27/five-guys-ce...
But yeah I don't condone violence against people.
when society’s checks and balances fail, people will inevitably take it into their own hands out of pure desperation. this is why appropriate taxes and investing in the welfare of a population is so crucial to stability
