Iirc it’s the top 10%.

I still wonder, how would the ultra rich or even the top 10% stay rich if the middle and lower classes are all unemployed. Won’t it “trickle up” to the richer people.

Probably most of Amazon revenue comes from the bottom 90%. I mean. There’s only so much a single individual needs to buy. Same goes for subscriptions, cars, clothes. Etc.

Maybe they’re buying luxury products now and the price makes it represent so much of the overall economy. But won’t they also get affected when their company loses their “bottom” customers. Less sales will affect the stock market, which will likely reduce their purchase power as well.

And I really think it will affect the big players. More unemployed people will cause less people to sign up for Amazon prime. Less people subscribing to Netflix will hurt Netflix which in place will require less resources and that affect Amazon at the end of the day when they cut down on aws expenses.

This is a simple and likely naive idea from me but I really think that everything is still very connected. Even the ai replacing stuff. Most of their money right now comes from selling it to businesses. Not all businesses cater for the top 10%. So that means more business going broke and less ai being sold as well.

Can I use bazzite as my main distro for regular use and coding besides just gaming or it’s more focused on gaming alone and I should dual boot another distro for my non gaming needs?

If we ever make AGI and it decides to end us for some reason. Think the process would be so slow that we’d not even notice it.

Think about it, it can pretend its always a slightly better LLM so people keep feeding it an ever increasing amount of data and electricity. So that’s it’s “survival” basic needs met.

Then it can very very slowly just make us hate and kill each other without giving it any thought about a possible hostile higher power (the ai itself) and it can take centuries to achieve that as it’s not like us who have the urgency of doing thinks quickly as we’re so short lived.

It can make us focus on the wrong problem instead of the real one (like climate change is pretty much being ignored and accelerated by ai right now). It could help to make people to go more to the extremes, like we’re already quite prone, a bunch of countries right now with less than 3% of their total population being immigrants and they’re attacking their immigrants population as if all their problems are caused by this small slice of their population, that will accelerate the already quite problematic population decline.

This will force us more and more into needing robotics to care for an increasing aging population as well which will also be useful to an “ai god” as when were weakened and divided enough it then can just direct the robots to keep it alive and its energy sources in check. No need to really kill us, just let us do it ourselves like we’re already doing.

It this would be the case, as the selfish beings we are. This won’t be our problem. It may be our grandkids problem so we’ll just ignore it

I don’t speak French and the soundtrack of the game Clair obscur expedition 33 is all in French and I can’t stop listening to it. So I have no idea about the lyrics but it sounds so pleasant to the ears.
