lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later
Or, worse, they might actually have to hire enough people to actually do the job. Why hire 100 people with good work life balance, when you can hire 60 people that aren't allowed to have lives or families.
60
peopleworkers that aren’t allowed to have lives or families
I mean, that's what the AI will be for...
Yeah, suddenly they'll go from 60 hour work weeks to 0 if the AI proponents are to be believed (which you shouldn't).
For real -- ultimately it's the dream of every billionaire to have a servile AI at their beck and call, while the rest of us can eat rocks and roam the wasteland fighting over gasoline.
Exactly that's where it should be doubled down... if their own estimates are correct... it's only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn't throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.
Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever... but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.
