Entire industries cannibalizing one another to eliminate competition and their industry’s ability and desire to make the products/services they existed for in the first place. TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryblahblah shelving projects for tax cheats, making lazy appeals to nostalgia for what the companies they destroyed once made, and cheap reality garbage instead of actual media comes to mind, but it’s terminal capitalism, it’s happening in every sector.
Then they lay off their workers cutting their workforce to the bone by activist shareholder demand, eliminating potential consumers of the economy.
Now they want to use AI to cut the bone.
The economy no longer has any interest in the human beings it was created as a lowly tool to serve. We’re being cut out entirely, except the small class of private owners, of course.
AI could and should be used to free mankind from tedious labor, that’s why such innovation should have come from well funded PUBLIC research our economy should have been oriented to feed for PUBLIC benefit.
Instead, like every other technology, it will be used as yet another cudgel against society. This civilization is dogshit.
There is a book series called rats bats and vats, which is a humorous book that has the shareholders own everything and only clones/animals do all the real work. If you were not a shareholder, you were akin to a slave.
If we keep going, the ai and ourselves will be the non-shareholders in this situation.
Soon AI will make AI content for other AI products to interact with, cutting humans off the production and consumer side entirely. Then tech giants will just pay and charge each other infinitely and we‘re rid of their nonsense because we simply stop looking at screens that have nothing worth watching to offer anymore.
Twitter is an innovator in this field. If they license their content to LLMs like Reddit has then it will truly become an ouroboros, the AI eating its own tail.

I Put on my list, sounds like it has some animal farm vibes.
It’s wacky for sure. It’s by a pro-union author and you can see it first hand.
