$40B. Insane. Imagine what could be done with this money to improve humanity. Instead, it’s spent on a fancy text generator that promises to eliminate most of the non mundane and physical jobs, as well as create autonomous killing machines, on top of burning the entire worlds electricity. Crazy.
you can say the same about every recent US war, and add one 0 to the sum.
Or, more controversially, say EU green deal which decimated EU car industry and lost/will lose us few millions of jobs. Losses up to a trillion and nothing to show for that
"Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
Well, historically this has been more effective than any other system known to man.
Technology and productivity have reduced more death than any redistribution
Who said redistribution?
This money could be invested in universal healthcare, or into AI research for medicine. But hey, I guess replacing developers and generating slop is more beneficial to our society.
yes, replacing developers is better for sustained growth and reduced poverty and not your pet projects.
