These people have entirely lost their minds. They are incapable of helping solve these issues they are actively creating. Even their proposed "solutions" are literally just more problems (more VC funding nonsense, more money for the tech companies).

I disagree with you (more on your quote than here, but)

Would be curious to hear more about how this plan can actually help people but I feel like the key is that they want these AIs to help people do things as if them not doing those things is why poverty exists, but what if the AI says to solve this we need to take the hoarded wealth of the plutocrats and redistribute it to everyone?

Yeah no worries I'm just thinking out loud :) I did read it. I'm unconvinced that any of those apps will actually help anyone out of poverty. There's already plenty of organizations doing those same things already. But maybe I'm just being stubborn idk.

I mean, just making sure. You said “more money for the tech companies” but Anthropic is providing all compute for free….. Life isn’t fair and equal. Treating poverty solely as a structural problem reduces people’s agency. I don’t have reflexive hate for wealth alone. I assume good intent here
