Exactly. What is lost in all these AI discussions is that owners of capital (often quasi-monopolies), can just reap all the profits of their legalized ownership. They can just use robots, AI and machines. Don't need to pay humans for anything.
So what do humans do to survive in this society? I can only see either UBI or a revolution that ends capitalism.

- neerd 3y agoYeah, my gut feeling is the rich see the writing on the wall. If they can keep a grip on things for a couple more decades then they can just replace all the poors with robots and either stick us all in UBI slums or find a more final solution.
