    I canceled my subscription. In part because fuck using AI to hurt labor, but also unemployment. Capitalists want us to spend spend spend, but they don’t want to give us any money to spend.

      Exactly that. Everyone is obsessed with eternal growth, pushing SaaS offerings our throats and even more subscriptions. There is a real estate crisis, where putting a roof over your head becomes an even more distant dream for the majority of the working population and greedy companies are firing people and replacing them with AI and then they wonder why people are revolting. Eat the rich!

      The capitalists want you to spend spend spend, but they’re a dying breed. The neofeudalists – the group that really runs stuff at this point – don’t really care what you do because they’re too busy extracting the wealth of the capitalists.

        I guess it’s like the difference between a parasite that doesn’t kill the host, and one that does. The current breed looks like it’s going to kill the host.

          💯

          When you have so much capital, the only place to get any meaningful amount more from is the capitalists underneath you whose business you haven’t turned into a dried out husk yet.
