The CEO of a company goes to the board of directors and they say, look, we got to get those margins up.
Our stock is getting hit because our competitors are doing better because they're adopting AI faster than us.
So he fires all low-level staff and replaces them with all of the latest model of AI, too.
Then eventually a new AI model is released, AI Agent 3.
And they say it can handle all the management for all the lower level tasks.
We don't need managers anymore.
Then it goes to the executives.
We don't need executives anymore.
AI Agent 4 is capable of handling this.
What ends up happening is you get unemployed people sitting at their house,
Unable to make money because they got laid off.
They're complaining, demanding UBI or something like this.
But the real issue is not the human component where they're complaining.
The real issue is that there's no people to buy products anymore.
There's no human to buy the cheeseburger.
So this means our industry slowly stops producing things humans need because there's no profit in it.
As everything is driven more towards AI and what AI wants and needs, things that humans need goes down in the market and becomes more likely to be rare.
Humans start suffering while a few ultra rich people eventually die and the AI takes over.
Well, I'm not talking about the point of the video is specifically...
You don't need to produce cheeseburgers because people can't buy them anyway.
