Anytime a Sam Altman or an Elon or a Thiel talks about a "difficult economic transition", what they mean is their plan will kill millions of people to make them incrementally richer, but they'll do it via "economics" so it can never be their fault and you're not allowed to yell at them.

This is something i wrote in 2023 on the actual goal of AI wrt labor , and this is a key part of the "economic transition"

"It will not all go well. The fear and anxiety about AI is justified; we are in the process of witnessing the largest change to society in a long time, and perhaps ever. We have to get safety right, which is not just about aligning a model—we urgently need a society-wide response to be resilient to new threats. This includes things like new policy to help navigate through a difficult economic transition in order to get to a much better future."
From Sam Altman's recent blog post, one of the only interesting things about recent events, where he speaks of a "difficult economic transition".
This is the transition to an economy run by venture capitalists and administered by their startups and running on their financial products.
I would never ask you to do anything I haven't done. Get it moving don't be a stain on history. Working in an industry full of Nazis and not fighting them... sound familiar af?
I'm talking about: moving amounts of money that affect your lifestyle. Spending so much time on this that you are exhausted. Aggressively pressuring other people in your industry to do something in a way that makes you socially ostracized and causes changes in your social life.
<3 done!
YES YOU
For those of you who are in the tech industry: no the fuck you are not doing enough, you should be making major changes in your life to fight back.

Palantir was a CIA-funded startup that really grew into what it is today under Obama. The fascist national security regime is bipartisan and has been fostered by the entirety of our government for decades. It's important to understand that none of this started in January 2025. This is from 2013:

Yep, its collapsed and been couped by fascist billionaires. They are now looting the remaining wealth and putting the people in a Palantir digital prison with digital IDs and total surveillance.
