The difference is that these apps were offered as stuff like "play games, earn rewards." "watch videos, earn rewards" etc. so I don't know how it could even be remotely related to shoplifting or cc fraud...where tho

The "not enough work for people" is mostly a myth from what I've seen. The reality is rote work will be automated but higher-level type jobs will increase. Also the idea of "basic income" will probably come indirect

I think the bigger problem is the overall influence that "traditional learning" has on the mindset of the learner. In both the USA and China, you can see what every young person's mindset is focused on - studying for that big
