It’s so short sighted. I think it’s driven by them thinking AI is already a full-scale solution to replacing workers. They’re gonna be in for a bad time. They’re gonna still need workers.
Broadly, they seem to have just lost track of the fact that their privilege is paid for by other people’s labor. Yeah - I think that part of it is thinking that AI can pick up the slack, but I think a lot of it is just not really thinking much at all.
I really think a lot of it, especially for Trump specifically, is looking at the amount of money that’s spent on social programs and education and housing and environmental protection and workplace safety and so on, and just dreaming about all the things he could buy with that much money.
