Probably, in the same way Steamboat Mickey is.
Just part of the whole valuing property, in this case intellectual, over actual labor and people that our species loves so fucking much.
Imagine if IP from drugs to technology to fiction had a 5-10 year max window before other people could work with and expand on it. It would be a better world for most.
Oh you only get to make exclusive income on that thing you came up with for SEVERAL YEARS OF YOUR LIFE before you need to contribute in other ways to keep making money, boo fucking hoo. Where’s the sympathy for people working 2 jobs, burning their life up to meet basic needs, who don’t get several years of passive income on an idea that popped into their head 4 years ago.
Time to tag in a ringer…
Hello me!
It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.
Studies have shown a 4 day, 8 hour work week INCREASES weekly productivity, ie money for the owners. WFH doesn’t decease productivity at all.
The owners work against such work life balance because its about keeping you busy and stretched, no time to look up or get your bearings.
…And also schadenfreude, it makes their modern Pharoah, gluttonous, wasteful lifestyles feel all the sweeter squeezing those below them and watching us writhe and squirm.
I hope he has a friend named Alonzo!

Being a creative tends to have a lot of overlap with mental illness.
I do myself, on albeit 5 year old hardware that struggles on my home server, but with decent GPUs with decent amounts of Vram running in the thousands, it isn’t accessible to most even with the inclination.
AI is open source, but running it is an expensive proposition, Raspberry Pis need not apply.
The owners can buy all they like without a thought though to use against us for their gain.
I Put on my list, sounds like it has some animal farm vibes.
Entire industries cannibalizing one another to eliminate competition and their industry’s ability and desire to make the products/services they existed for in the first place. TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryblahblah shelving projects for tax cheats, making lazy appeals to nostalgia for what the companies they destroyed once made, and cheap reality garbage instead of actual media comes to mind, but it’s terminal capitalism, it’s happening in every sector.
Then they lay off their workers cutting their workforce to the bone by activist shareholder demand, eliminating potential consumers of the economy.
Now they want to use AI to cut the bone.
The economy no longer has any interest in the human beings it was created as a lowly tool to serve. We’re being cut out entirely, except the small class of private owners, of course.
AI could and should be used to free mankind from tedious labor, that’s why such innovation should have come from well funded PUBLIC research our economy should have been oriented to feed for PUBLIC benefit.
Instead, like every other technology, it will be used as yet another cudgel against society. This civilization is dogshit.
Look at the sheer scale and number of massive, malicious mistakes that one of our billionaires makes, while having ZERO impact on their tangible quality of life or lifestyle. None. Their ego score goes down and nothing else changes. The people they laid off suffer, never them.
Remember that when some pro-market capitalism class traitor nitwit inevitably tries to shame struggling people for daring to get a latte, eat Avacado toast, or get an education based on learning and growing as a person rather than solely insatiable greed.
People in the little club basically have to rape dozens of people to finally be permitted to fail, like Harvey Weinstein.
You aren’t poor because of “your bad decisions,” you’re poor because of a relatively small, insatiably greedy, powerful group of people that demand and expect almost all of the capital value your effort produces to go directly to them.
No one should have that much power.
I wouldn’t have trusted Fred Rogers with a billion dollars, and he’s practically the only famous stranger I could have seen trusting with my newborn alone.
It’s a society warping level of wealth. No single, unelected, unaccountable person should possess that much uniltateral power.
The global
allowanceencouragement of such an exploitative, reckless goal is why we are in our various bleak situations.
