I've been thinking the opposite. It sucks to be in the generation of workers that are displaced by AI. It's going to be great to be in the generation where work just isn't something that humans are expected to do.
- moron4hire 6mo agoWe are never going to live in a society that doesn't expect people to work. There may not be enough work for half the population, but people will still be expected to work to live. We already live in a society that could feed every last poor person and we still choose not to, cuz "but muh tax dollars!"
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoI mean, assuming we don't hit some limit with AI, we're going to get to the point where the best way humans can affect productivity is to just get out of the way.
- Aerroon 6mo agoThat's what the whole UBI thing was about though. People did see this coming and wanted to preempt it. I'm not sure whether it would've worked, but people did try to come up with solutions for this transition period.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoThere's still plenty of time to figure it out. You're making it sound like it's already too late.
- recursivecaveat 6mo agoI really wouldn't want to be in the post-mass-employment era as part of the class with no economic or military power, totally dependent on handouts.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoYes because you think of it as a handout. But the generation born into it will think of it as entitlements.
