gmiller rebuts 'own assets and you'll be safe': AI smart enough to take your job can take your assets
ZeroStateReflex · x · 2026-09-30
gmiller pushes back on ClayCollins' viral take that human labor is trending to zero and the only escape is hoarding assets (gold, land, Bitcoin). His counter: any agentic AI smart enough to do your job is also smart enough to take your assets — via cyberattacks, fraud, blackmail, market manipulation, or hiring human criminals. As survivalists know, land you can't defend isn't yours; a pension fund insecure against cyberattack isn't yours; Bitcoin you can't protect from a '$5 wrench attack' by an AI-hired criminal isn't yours either. AI threatens not just jobs but the security of property itself.
