    They’d have to incinerate Social Security, defund every school, let infrastructure rot, and hyper-inflate the dollar into worthlessness just to keep Wall Street’s AI bubble afloat… Which is beyond fucked.

      Don’t worry, AI will still be around then to do all the thinking for us! It’ll tell us how this was all for the best, and how we should be thankful to our overlords! We’d surely be making the best of a bad situation and not following a plan for this exact thing to happen!
