    Sounds so much like the old “You will own nothing and you will be happy”. We got bombarded with things “as a service” and subscription models and I’m definitely less happy. I wanna own my stuff. I don’t want to rent it from corporate overlords.

    I’m sure this will go the exact same way. At first it will be a tool to make work easier. But then we’ll be babysat by a corporate AI that will decide if we’re still useful enough. And with every thing we use AI for it will learn more so it can displace more jobs.

    “We think of new things to do, to create for each other, to want for ourselves. People are very focused on how they’re doing relative to other people,” he said.

    “I expect that to keep going. I think we’re all going to be much busier than we thought we’d be in a post-super-intelligence world, and we’re still going to complain about it. But secretly we’re going to be happy,”

    What a cynical asshole, can’t imagine people caring about anything beyond wealth and status. I’m not sure what he’s implying about whether they will have any choice (does “we’re still going to complain about it” mean we will not?)
