    Yup. Capitalism only works in a finite world if there’s a catastrophic economic hardship for 99% of the population every 5 to 10 years just to ensure the working class doesn’t achieve too many gains. Ai causing the economy to crash is bonus feature, not a bug.

        Ya if you are counting that amount of time I’d say every 5 to 50 years Capitalism (and over 400 years feudalism as well) needed to shed massive amounts of wealth at the middle and bottom in order to sustain itself. Sadly as tech gets faster so does the speed and frequency. We are experiencing about one ever 6 years currently, even with us exporting a large about of the death and destruction. WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF RUNAWAY! Humanity is doomed soon if we don’t get our shit together. All so a handful of people can have islands to touch little girls. shm
