AI tech bros thinking that AI is going to be so good that nobody else will be able to earn money and feigning concern about the slummers is about the best example of people getting high on their own farts I can imagine.
The San Andreas fault needs to wake up and send these guys off onto an island involuntarily.

It is not dying.
It is already dead.

Corporate greed and an uneducated population.

Companies and people with so much and power that they, only a tiny handful, can debate and dictate exactly where society as a whole will go shows just exactly how much wealth and power these people have amassed. You no longer talk to governments or economists on where and how a society will go but to the techlord and whether they’ll modify their mission to allow it.

Dying? It’s been dead since Reagan was president.

It’s not dying, it’s already dead. The future for people in their 30s and under is going to be a lot different then their parents, and that disconnect is so huge and strong that the older generation with all their assets, still don’t understand how bad it is for us.
Not to say there aren’t some people who are well off, but everyone know that’s ‘succeeding’ in life are like college educated high end tech job people vs. EVERYONE else who aren’t as successful and have had to downsize already, still live with roommates, or can’t afford to have kids or have a family.
There is no American Dream when everyone is so strapped for cash, anxious and unable to save any amount of money because of the cost of everyday living is too high.

The tech world is part of the problem. Capitalist = fascist in this brave New world. They’re killing themselves off. The irony is that they’ll blame others all the way down.
artbystorms on
of course they think it’s dying. They killed it! Social media and tech apps killed community spaces, housing affordability, good government, the ‘mono-culture’, and reasoned political discourse all for the sake of ad revenue and squeezing value of out being a middle-man in commerce.

cause they are actively trying to kill it so they can be barons of this broken country?

$70B wasted on the metaverse. 10s of thousand of layoffs. Shitty R&D strategy, no proven innovation, and poor planning. But the stock is going up. This is the same story for every AI tech company.
We’re no longer rewarding durable companies with a promising innovative future. Just whoever can bullshit the best at promising infinite growth.
These founders also flip politics on a dime. Their only goal is to bleed the country that made them billions dry. There’s no patriotism or allegiance to give back.
The dream dies at the hands of these grifters with no bounds to their greed. Not because of AGI.

MSFT made over 100 Billion dollars PROFIT last year and yet they still laid people off, still reneged on new hire offers, overwork their staff and push products in directions and places their customers don’t want (forced win11 upgrade, Edge, AI slop). They dream was when the company did great so did the people. If you’re not C suite, it’s a rough ride out there. The American dream is dead and keeping Wall Street happy is what killed it.

The war on the middle class and that conversation has been happening for 40+ years. It’s not tech specific.

They met poor and middle class people and can see it’s already dead for them.

The American Dream is dead and decayed.

Tech world? You mean the financial sector…
Tech world at most has overlap looking at data when it comes to finances.
The numbers state the American dream isn’t a reality anymore and th people to thank are the executive class employees, board of directors, majority shareholders, Ronald Regan, conservative voters and the dodge brothers.

I don’t give a flying feck if “the tech world” thinks something, they played a roll in killing it.

The tech world is busy killing the American dream so it stands to reason that they see the freight train at the end of the tunnel.
