Short term? Drive wages down with the threat of firing people and replacing them with AI. Long term? They’re either delusional enough to believe AI will improve to the point where it actually is cheaper, or else they’re willing to pay more for a workforce that can’t organize and protest and that they don’t have to worry about doing things like being a whistleblower for their latest amoral plan.
Some CEO’s thought they could save a bundle and were eager to replace workers. Other CEO’s saw that, had to do a bunch of layoffs and knew saying “replaced with AI” instead of layoffs keeps stock prices high. Then you have a whole bunch of CEO’s that thought the other guys must be on to something, think they’re missing out and jump into AI both feet first. The laggards are bombarded with news and propaganda by the big players to get them pulled in too. So by now you get everybody messing around with AI in some fashion. That’s the moment the tech giants put the squeeze on everybody.
So… why the fuck are you going all-in on AI at the expense of literally everyone and everything else!?
They’re nvidia, they don’t care if the shovels they’re selling won’t dig any gold

They are clearly anti-human. The question is what are they really trying to achieve? I hope it is not just Bioshock.
profit. the profit must flow.
