Although privileges granted by the State to "crony capitalists" excarberates issues, I do not consider it the root of issues, and to me, capitalism would have the same issues even without a government, or with minimal government. I think we're fixing the wrong part of the bottleneck by arguing for a completely free market.
- mars4rp 9y agowe don't have capitalism in US we have corporationism. free market would have been a good thing before automation and AI, but it won't work for the future. but you can't convince people to go toward socialism in this country. but left and right agree that problem is crony capitalism ! let's start from there and do something!!!
- bogomipz 9y ago>"free market would have been a good thing before automation and AI, but it won't work for the future." Can you elaborate on this? I am curious to hear why those two things - a free market and AI are mutually exclusive.
- mars4rp 9y agobecause in a society when most of people don't need to work because there is nothing to do for them. you can't compete by working, you can compete by the amount of your capital. for example if you use robots to produce X, the only way I can compete with you is having more or better robots (there would be still competition on building better robots as long as people making robots and AIs not AIs generating more AIs). in such a word most of people don't contribute to the economy, allocating resources based on amount of work or capital is going to leave most of society without any resources! free market is still going to be helpful in making AI and Robot owners compete, but they shouldn't be the sole benefactor of robot's work!
