All of the above. It is even worse than crypto. The AI proponents that support this have no serious solution to the mass displacement of jobs thanks to AI. They actually don't mention any alternative solutions and instead scream about nonsense such as UBI which has never worked at a large sustainable scale. > Society needs to slow down and find alternative, more sustainable solutions. AI is aligned with short-term economic efficiency and that is detrimental. I don't think they can come up with sensible alternatives or any sustainable solutions to the jobs displaced as there is no alternative.

Curious: where was UBI ever tried at a large scale?

If robots do all the work (which is ultimately what all the lost jobs are about), why would UBI be unsustainable at scale?

  Because the rich and powerful people who will reap the most benefit from all the automation will not redistribute the wealth to the now-useless ex-labor force.

    Oh, they will. The only question is whether this will happen sooner and voluntarily, or later with torches and pitchforks.

      Better bring out the pitchforks earlier while we still have access to them!!
