What would be the alternative scenario to a crash? As I understand it, for AI companies to not crash, they have to end up putting us all out of jobs which will end up with us becoming slaves/serfs.
I don't know who gave them that Utopian end goal but they could just settle slowly into a useful function. They didn't have to inflate so much as to make a crash almost inevitable.
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert, Dune
