Okay, so, the year is 2036 and your second child has just celebrated her first birthday. The economy is humming, production of all goods and commodities are way up. Unfortunately, you and your spouse are both unemployed at the moment, because for any skill that you have to offer the labor market, a machine is already available that does the job better, faster, and more cheaply. Quicker fingers, stronger arms, faster legs, and now a mind.
Your kid is hungry and your savings account is running low. What do you do?
- docheinestages 4y agoI think there will come a point, where almost everything will be automated by machines. Since we cannot just get rid of billions of people, we have to find a way to both feed the people and have something for them to do. That is unless AI takes over control of humanity. This is similar to how prisons function. They have to keep large masses of people, feed them, keep them peaceful, without expecting anything in return.
