Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.”
“That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!”

Well, that’s a new kind of AI circle jerk…
This is the fever dream that makes capitalists cream their pants.
Generating infinite revenue!
Anything that is infinite doesn’t have any economic value.
But if every human worker is replaced by AI, capitalism collapses.
Short term gains > long-term vision.
I think that knife needs to be used more effectively if all the pupils are to be replaced.
You do have to say that this school is preparing students for AI-obsoleted jobs of the future.
No, it’s just training AI now.
So is the kid AI?
That’s just Weird.
