    The answer is found in capitalism. Why are gamers, who have continually been fucked by capitalism, so blind at seeing the obvious. '80s game crash: capitalism. Day one DLC: capitalism. Micro transactions: capitalism. All the hardware being hoovered up, so software costs more at every level, increasing prices for both hardware and software: capitalism.

      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.

          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).

        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.
