Agree. There are these nice terms like house-poor or car-poor for people who buy things more expensive then they can afford, forcing them to make uncomfortable savings in other aspects of life.
If you know that your current lifestyle is sustainable until you die, and makes you happy, you are rich already in terms of money.
Honestly, I don't even want to have all that money at once. If just the job market is good enough that I will always be employed and earn a livable wage, that's what makes it already. It's a lot about trust in the economy, and knowing that there is a social system that prevents me from starving in case my education becomes worthless at some point.
Aren't they able to veto all financial expenses of the state or so? Then they probably can't fire people directly, but just decide that a certain role is superfluous, and doesn't receive funding anymore.
Well, if openai open sources all their models, what value is there left that is unique to openai? Training data? But that is only valuable if they invent a better way to make it into an "AI".
Sounds a bit bogus to call this a causation. Much more likely that people who are more gullible in general also believe AI whatever it says.
