AI to reduce the cost of housing and food
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 14th, 2026 10:32 AM Author: Splenetic theater Can someone explain this to me? Half of all inflation is from food/housing. Tech bro Walsh thinks AI will make inflation a thing of the past.
How? |

Date: July 14th, 2026 10:34 AM Author: transparent site hairy legs Food, definitely, by making supply chains more efficient and automating harvesting and processing.
Housing? Difficult, since so much of the bottleneck in supply is due to regulation, not technology. |

Better example is picking g of fruits and vegetables. There are AI powered machines that weed fields now so you don't need to use herbicides, there are AI pickers for delicate fruits that needed to be picked manually. |

Date: July 14th, 2026 10:41 AM Author: transparent site hairy legs Price of food has been continually falling as a percentage of income for centuries at this point and is still falling. Every efficiency gain incrementally lowers prices. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5882626&forum_id=2Vannesa#49998681) |

Date: July 14th, 2026 10:51 AM Author: Splenetic theater and yet, since 2000, food prices have grown faster than inflation.
But at least its not like the 1800s! |

Date: July 14th, 2026 11:40 AM Author: transparent site hairy legs Wrong. Grocery prices have not grown faster than inflation...only restaurant prices have, largely bevause of $20 minimum wage laws in shitlib states. People have also been spending more at restaurants. Grocery prices have continued falling relative to inflation. But inflation is a shitty measure because it is largely deiven by food in the first place. Percentage of income spent on groceries is a better measure and groceries as a percent of median income has also fallen. https://www.ers.usda.gov/media/28676/109406-chart-image-file.png

Date: July 14th, 2026 11:47 AM Author: Splenetic theater First, Incomes have grown less than inflation. So food tracking inflation = food becoming more expensive. hth.
Also, food quality and nutrition has gone to SHIT. We may be buying the same amount of food for a similiar price as 20 years ago, but now its made with cheap as fuck chemicals and is hardly considered real food. Real food is way more expensive now. Go look at the ingredients of food today vs 20 years ago. Most went from like 8 to 25.

Date: July 14th, 2026 11:53 AM Author: transparent site hairy legs Also, ljl at food quality going to shit. The ultraprocessed prole garbage my parents fed me would be considered child abuse now. Lunchables, Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Oscar Mayer Baloney, Capri Sun, kraft am3rocan "cheese" singles, Sunny Delight, hot dogs, Hawaiian Punch, Rice A Roni, etc.
50 years ago the only vegetables Americans ate came out of a can or freezer. |

Date: July 14th, 2026 11:55 AM Author: Splenetic theater But its only just as expensive as back then! Things are improving!!! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5882626&forum_id=2Vannesa#49998869) |

Date: July 14th, 2026 12:03 PM Author: transparent site hairy legs You seem retarded. The quality has improved (now people drink real fruit juice instead of Hawaiian punch, eat real cheese iblnstead of Kraft singles,l and velveeta, eat unprocessed meat instead of cold cuts, fresh veggies intead of canned) and its less expensive than it was as a share of income.

Date: July 14th, 2026 10:40 AM Author: Umber lettuce stead In an ideal world reducing labor costs would mean more abundance for everyone. Because techbros are engineers they think things work like that. It makes sense after all -- why would making widgets more efficient to produce reduce the number of widgets people can afford?
They don't consider that the gains from AI will be gobbled up by capital, and the widget makers will be left worse off.

Date: July 14th, 2026 10:41 AM Author: transparent site hairy legs This is braindead Marxist nonsense that has been falsified again and again.
We're better off having combines pick our cotton rather than field niggers. Cotton T shirts used to cost a day's salary, now cost $3. |

Date: July 14th, 2026 11:14 AM Author: Umber lettuce stead And when that happens the cotton workers are jobless.
I'm not saying we should be luddites or embrace communism. I'm just explaining why innovation doesn't always result in ommediate benefits for everyone. Innovation often results in disduption and there is some pain as society adapts, which is where the term luddite came from. |
