    I agree and would add for others reason here that the Luddites issue was not the looms they destroyed, but the out of control inequality that the government was not addressing. We need to stop blaming AI as a society for job loss and instead get the governments to help with the transition which so far they have largely been inactive on.

      Job losses are a consequence of AI spending, not productivity increases. This is an economic issue. Everyone with a little money is trying to ride the wave, regardless of the consequences, while big corporations are positioning themselves for long term dominance.

        The corporations certainly think they are setting themselves up for domination, but that is not how it is trending. The opposite is about to happen as all those over the top irrational exuberance driven data center investments are quickly becoming a liability as Open Source has caught up and Ternary 1.58 bit models are coming to make GPU redundant. Hate to be AI CEO or cloud ai investor right now.
