This is true, it's not just AI. The world is kinda screwed right now. It feels like it's much more so than in the 80s when nuclear war was looming and we were poorer.
Schmidt is saying the above statement so that he can then break it down and weaken it but he is one of the major causes of the world's problems right now. Even the broken politics is caused by social media.
I do think AI will displace jobs and I doubt most of them will actually be replaced with different jobs. There's just going to be too much displacement too quickly. And that will make people very angry. Rightly so. Companies don't really exist to make rich people even more money. They exist to enable our lives and society. If they no longer do there's no more reason for them to exist.
Talk about naive
there's a difference between what they should exist for, and why they exist. they are not the same right now.
I remember when I used to believe this.
Corporations exist solely to make money. You are naive if you think otherwise.
to make.money ues, but mu.company of two people doesnt make rich people richer. we work to make money, i rather own my company than work for someone else
Not sure about this. They exist to enable society might be true, but to enable our lives, hell nah. Big Pharma for example profits from the exact opposite.
