Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can’t trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world.
A world where manual labor is no longer needed, where people can just exist as large mammals are meant to exist. Robots will handle it all and we can just do as we please… and the robots are going to be plentiful because once enough of the process of making a robot becomes automated, the cost of it will go to zero. But to get there it is going to require a ton of money… these robots are going to be way too expensive for people to actually buy them, so investors and governments will help out. The investors will eventually lose everything, but that will put us on the way to having everything we need to be created through completely automated systems.
Of course, there will still be jobs for those who really want them - or more likely, who want them and are good at them - or even more likely, who knows the right people… but if we can get our basic needs taken care of it night not fully end poverty but it would be a step in the right direction.
But, alas… It’s Musk saying it so it’s only to further enrich himself and won’t actually happen.
I will gladly be “eliminated” then be a slave for this bastard and his 1% friends.
Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don’t need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.
Right!? he was literally referring to this as an “enormous robot army” a couple weeks ago.
That’s the only way the 1% could eliminate poverty. If it were at all possible.
Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.
They won’t necessarily kill or exterminate us. They’ll just let us die.
Bruh still hasn’t delivered on self driving.
Next year! Just you wait and see!!
And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.
By “eliminate poverty” he means killing all the poor people with his robot army.
A(ctual) I(ndians) at it again…
They just want to dehumanize labour, and not in the way you’d think.
It’s still crazy to me Elmo dressed up humans in robot costumes to try and trick in estors into thinking they were ai waiters…
And Bezos tried to sell companies “workless shops” services run by AI, by having whole foods use Indians watching cameras to pretend AI was something to invest in…
And there just wasn’t any lawsuits.
How the fuck isn’t it fraud?
The big money that’s already in are just trying to trick people into joining so they can rugpull.
Like every good grift: ounce of truth, pound of bullshit
In 17 years time… ooooh, eliminate the POOR!! yeah, that makes more sense
It’s going to kill them, isn’t it?
And grind them up to make Soylent Green.
Mmmm. Soylent Green 🤤
What, like the Tories did? /s
The best thing he could do for the world would be to take up a fentanyl hobby.
Will he use his new trillion dollars for betterment of humankind?
With his money, he could eliminate poverty right now. Why wait?
Fuck this nazi piece of shit.
No he won’t.
