    Reminder that AI is "propping up" the economy the same way a tape worm props up your metabolism.

    It has completely choked off all capital investment to any other activity for years. It completely devours resources needed by any other endeavor. And for all that, it produces practically nothing that people want or need. It's strangling the economy.

      It turns out that AI was not the paper clip maximizer. It was actually the paperclip.

        @jenniferplusplus Many years ago I heard of a case where someone sold tapeworm eggs as cure against obesity. Seems to work in the short run. I have no idea of this is true, maybe just a story, but it is kind of a similar situation: a parasitic organism, sold as a remedy, but ultimately harms more than users imagine.

        (Just in case someone might think that tapeworm scheme is a better business idea than Ozempic: no, it’s not, really. Infecting people is frowned upon. At least where I live. 😁)
