    This is kinda cope

    Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.

    At that point things end up pretty concrete.

    These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.

    They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.

    The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all

      We haven’t yet made an AI that can replace anyone’s job, so it might be better to hold off on resigning ourselves to that fate.

        It doesn’t have to be AI. automation has already made a lost of jobs trivial or irrelevant, which is why we are so productive as a species and yet still do 40hr weeks.

        Try searching for the theory of “bullshit jobs”. It’s all just patchwork to keep global capitalism based economy going in circles.
