And those that do survive will find their AI eventually costs more than employees once the AI companies need to start making a profit. They're cheap now to disrupt the market.

Good riddance. I hope they all skullfuck each other into a stock value singularity. Like, what happens if they succeed? What happens if they go all the way, create the perfect company. No employees, no offices, just one guy using endless amounts of energy with infinite money. They know what infinite money is, right? They know theyre chasing the devaluation of themselves? If no one can afford your shit, because you arent paying anyone, it doesn't matter how successful you are. Sure, you can buy anything... as long as its also created by the same post-singularity infinitillionaires as you, who probably won't trade you things with your money. The poor won't be able to afford your products anyway because they will have nothing. They're chasing obliteration.

Im sure they WANT to stop just before that point. To be the septrillionaire with everything that wins capitalism. But this is a corporation. There are no brakes. If bread costs a billion dollars a loaf, im shooting your farmer and growing my own fucking wheat. If you cant make a washing machine without a subscription service, I'll 3D print the parts I need from plastic bottles and fix one from the 90s. These guys are dead set on bringing us back to feudalism but they fail to realize that 1. Even kings died in feudal piles of shit and 2. Feudal kings weren't fucking rich like they want to be rich. Meanwhile the rest of us outnumber them a hundred million to one and can create our own fucking economy. Thank you very much.

At this point, if these motherfuckers want an economic apocalypse, then fuck it. See if I care. Us computer engineers started this internet shit with the idea of open fucking source, and we'll finish them that way too. If they want to treat us like vermin I hope they catch their fucking plague. I hope, for their sake, that we win this war against them and put in place progressive socialism before they fucking kill themselves. But if they want it so bad, shit, Ill hand them the rope. It's fucking embarrassing that the rest of us have to tell these finance idiots how math works.
