The money at this point is probably all in the cloud providers, not the AI companies themselves.

So then what does the WEF have to do with it.

Nothing. It's happening anyways, you just said so.

The WEF (one member in an opinion piece) said that subscription-based services will become cheap & fast enough that owning things will become less desirable than renting. That's the conspiracy here.

I'm fully willing to believe that the rich are conspiring against us, but the whole "own nothing and be happy," is just another meme-level conspiracy theory. Believe it if you want, but there is NO PUBLIC PLAN BY THE WEF TO REMOVE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. You can even read in their 2030 document that they explicitly endorse ownership of private property.

Which deleted statements would those be. I can see that the original 2016 article has not been deleted. Klaus Schwab referencing it during COVID is also not deleted. Neither is the video on X which has the quote, along with a series of other predictions.

So what exactly are you privy to here that the rest of us aren't.

lol no. You have no proof and thus will supply none. Your assumptions (about me) are also baseless and frankly pathetic. Is the WEF also planning to remove the US as the world's superpower? It's another of their predictions for 2030.

"The left" loves corporations? What corporations would those be? All leftists I know despise corporations.

I'd prefer to read about techno-dystopianism from a source that isn't actively looking and praying for signs of the end of the world...

Not really. Show me where the WEF is publicly planning to get rid of private ownership.

It said that, as in it literally said that that was a prediction the member had for the future. It is no way an economic policy of the WEF. And its not deleted.

Those are predictions...not policies. You'll note that the WEF is far from the only group saying that meat consumption will go down because of climate change.

For one, the WEF is not actually aiming for people to "own nothing and be happy," as the author states.

Um. This is a disturbing article but the source is a Christian website monitoring for the Apocalypse.

I was flagged (bizarrely) because I was asking for help in propagating another website like this for similar ends. Joachim however reached out to me. he's working on an open-source model of his website.

We can just eat less meat, and the meat we do eat can be non-factory farmed. Eventually lab grown meat will take over (not because it achieves sentience, but because its tasty & cheap).
