@rysiek@mstdn.social This is astute.
A barrel of oil has the energy of around 20,000 hours of human labor. Four barrels contains the energy output of an entire working lifetime of a person. So we pump the equivalent of 20 million slaves out of the ground every day.
They imagine AI as the equivalent for intellectual labor & will make them as fabulously wealthy as oil made the original capitalists.
