Imagine wishing such pain upon your fellow humans so that your shity AI companies could have all jobs. The world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work for pennies; you have almost no political will to fight or self determination. The plan is to crash the economy beyond repair to avoid paying wages and steal every job and they are not shy about it.
@nixCraft The goal is much more sinister. They want to completely eviscerate democracy, and establish several enclaves they call network states. These will operate much like company towns, or fiefdoms with the fascist tech VCs at the helm. The society they envision is a fascist one, with tech workers at the top (see Balaji’s grey shirts). They also want to replace fiat currency with crapto, and the best way to achieve that is to crash the dollar.
