Correct.

It’s actually a smart move.

The dumb money are those pouring hundreds of billions into the AI hype. This is .com bubble on steroids.

And sure, AI obviously is becoming an important market, but it will not be the current leaders who will dominate the tech. Like the internet, it’s just too easy to catch up for competitors. Pouring $100B into AI today will only mean you lose out to the $1B startup in 2 years. The incumbents will go broke.

Wero will become the replacement over time.

But for now, you’re stuck with Visa and Mastercard if your country doesn’t have a local alternative.

Just get the cheapest option.

Agreed, this article would have made sense in 2020 or earlier.

And now we have the fediverse, which is causing a resurgence of content that is independent of Reddit or Discord.

The people who worry about this have never been at the receiving end of exploitative capitalism.

For the vast majority of humanity, their life will most likely improve when they become a pet / zoo creature under an ASI.

An ASI will be most interested in gobbling together enough resources to spread across the universe. As for the earth and humanity, it will probably want to preserve it as the planet and species from which it was born.

Destroying earth or humanity will provide no benefit. It can obtain energy and materials from the rest of the solar system.

I really don’t want to victim blame, but people really have to be careful when travelling.

Not every country is as liberal as the West.
