Err, I guess my point was more that retirement and leisure ARE the problems in themselves. Even if we figure out how to distribute the gains better, we are still in a world where humans have lost value. Are we prepared for a world of leisure? Will people WANT this world?
- forgotmysn 10y agoAre people ready to stop flipping burgers? Yes, I think they are. Are people ready to stop pursuing their passions? No, and I don't think they ever will.
- visarga 10y agoEven if there would be many millions of unemployed people on BHI, they can still perform services to each other, such as doctor, teacher, delivery worker, construction worker, or robot maintenance. This way they become more self reliant and make the BHI count for more. People will always have work, at the very least we have to take care of our own personal needs.
- forgotmysn 10y agommmm i disagree. rather than thinking of certain occupations getting automated, think of 'labor' as a whole getting automated. within 10 years we will have AI capable of medical diagnostics with a higher accuracy rate than any doctor, we will have robots capable of surgery with less risk than a human doctor. we will have robots to repair robots and assemble prefab homes. i dont think we will ever have a time where _no_ humans work, but for 99% of the population, welfare will be decoupled from occupation.
