I think the problem is that the internet created a ton of new jobs, even while taking some. So far, I can't think of an example of AI creating jobs...only taking them. When you have a lot of newly unemployed people, drowned in debt, unable to know what to believe (AI lies and generations will become more prominent)...I can see that as becoming a massive political problem. It's not quite like robots on an assembly floor, those robots couldn't scale. Now one AI program and API could displace 1000s of workers instantly. It's not crazy to be concerned.

> I can't think of an example of AI creating jobs...only taking them. future jobs which doesn't exist today will not be in your vocabulary or thoughts, which is why you cannot think of them. Does not mean such jobs will not exist. The play today for the concerned, is to start owning capital as well as selling their labour. People who only rely solely on labour as their source of income will be disadvantaged, as labour is increasingly less useful.

  Wouldn't it be a better bet to join the revolution against the idea of private capital in the first place? Would you really be able to emotionally transition to a world where you get to enjoy the high life in your protected area while the masses outside your gates suffer? Especially when there's more than enough resources for everyone? Oh wait... as an American, I'm gonna stop throwing stones from a glass house...
