“In an interview with Fox News that aired Wednesday evening, Bezos told host Bret Baier he believes AI’s productivity gains could let some people decide, “I can support my family by working three days a week. He claimed families in two-earner households could decide they don’t need a second income and let one worker drop out. The billionaire didn’t offer any specifics on how this could happen.”

Wow. That is some epic Marie-Antoinette level trolling. Though in fairness to Marie-Antoinette, she never actually said ‘let them eat cake’; that slur had been used on others decades before her time as French Queen.

Talk about vibe-coding economics. Big Tech takes control of the US government, and then leads people to a glorious AI future, but can’t “offer any specifics on how this could happen.” No shit. Perhaps it’s because you’re simultaneously telling investors you’ll be worth trillions because of all the human jobs you’ll absorb.

AI Could Allow For 3-Day Workweeks And Single-Income Households, Bezos Claims

    It will never because they already know what a bunch of bored unoccupied people will do even when they live in good times. Which is go online and get fed propaganda and burn the whole fucking thing down looking for lizard people In minority spaces while those minorities help them do it. They’ll do this without the internet but at least it’s kept to small areas.

    Shit look at retired people fucking up everything because they have too much time.

    I know how this will sound but there it is.

      They don’t want people having free time because then we’ll educate ourselves and organize.

      The rich certainly see this as fucking everything up.
