If all labour is displaced, where will our capitalist overloads find more income? Can’t be government because we’re being taxed now, but won’t be once unemployed.
We need jobs so we can continue to be fleeced.
- acatnamedjoe 2y agoThat's only because a capitalist economy uses the circulation of currency and goods as a way to multiply wealth, while motivating the people who generate the wealth. Sufficiently advanced AI offers the potential for exponential wealth generation for our (former) capitalist overlords, without you or I needing to produce or consume anything.
