“AI is the asbestos we are shovelling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”
– Canadian-British journalist and internet activist
Cory Doctorow, on the long recovery from rampant automation after the AI bubble bursts. “The money-hemorrhaging ‘foundation models’ will be shut off and we’ll lose the AI that can’t do your job,
and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or ‘discouraged’ and out of the labour market, and
no one will do your job.”
