Enact a tax on automation. Don't do it immediately, do it when the tech hits the knee of the adoption curve. Use the income to implement a guaranteed basic income. Otherwise it's going to end in dystopia.
- tarr11 10y agoDoes that mean I have to use a government approved text editor every time I automate something with code?
- olalonde 10y agoThat sounds good in theory but what counts as automation and how do you put a dollar value on it? For example, if I use AWS to provision servers instead of hiring sysadmins to manage my own hardware, should I be taxed? If I use computer vision software to detect defects in products I manufacture, should I be taxed? By how much?
