Amazon is preparing to spend $200 billion on Artificial Intelligence computers and infrastructure. Amazon makes their own computer chips as a competitor of Nvidia and they’re not alone in spending vast sums on the development of AI, which is currently much like a Gold Rush worldwide. AI is the new industrial future coming to us, where everything is done by AI. When all goods are self-produced, all factories are built and maintained by AI robots that are also maintained by other robots, the cost to humans goes to zero. Once all this is established there’s no need for further investment, just tell the AI what to do and it does it. The AI will have to limit what it makes, to prevent exhausting available raw materials and that will naturally cause groups of people to start demanding More, More, and riots……….
A science fiction nightmare at it’s finest and it’s becoming reality.
