And it’ll be used to suppress wages, because “you’re not making new stuff, just fixing some problems in existing code.” That you have to rewrite most of it is conveniently not counted.

That’s at least what was tried with movie writers.

This’ll be closer to the collapse of the Soviet Union, when living in said union.

So that makes him a classic useful idiot.

With the way things are going over there, the whole thing falls apart soon enough and this issue can be fixed in the rebuild.

Much of the craze is almost religious. You have for example Singularitarianism. Basically “Man creates AI, which will create artificial general intelligence, which will create artificial super intelligence, which will bring us the singularity, release us from drudgery and give us eternal life.”
