My toast falling onto the carpet with the jelly side first? Capitalism.
Joke aside, yes. But this time it's a clear enemy called AI. So people have something to blame, while evading the real culprit.
Yeah. This AI boom barely created any new problems. It mostly just enlarged, or sped up the rate of problems that already existed, a bit like a catalyst.
Without capitalism, I wouldn’t even have a carpet or toaster.
Wouldn't say that. There is more to humanity than dystopian capitalist fantasies. I, e.g., work for free to help people. You might do too, if you got what YOU need from others. But yeah, not gonna happen. The vast majority of people will always stay slaves, they just don't really realize it (yet).
Free labor is a luxury for the affluent.
Yup. But it doesn't have to be. This species just sucks :)
