Imagine this scenario:
- All companies start producing mostly using only AI and firing people, because people have no use anymore
- Joe spend most of his income on digital video games products
- Joe get fired because he got replaced by AI now, since AIs are taking over most jobs
- Joe has no income anymore
- Joe doesn’t have any more money to spend on video games
- Companies have no more profit, because people don’t have income, so people can’t spend on their AI produced products
In this scenario both lose, the company adopting AI and the worker. Am I missing something? Is there any possibility besides Universal Basic Income to keep the system running and not collapsing?
People will accept lower wages to compete with AI… Up to a point… My prediction is that it’s going to make the wage gap deep enough that people will have to revolt. What frightens me is what comes after, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Especially given the fact that people don’t vote because of “both sides fallacies”.
I disagree. I actually think that it’s gonna get worse before it gets worse.
Seriously though, what comes after really depends on what faction within the revolt is more dominant and has more sway. It’s anyone’s guess.
The Revolution eating its children is almost always messy historically. Violence as a means tends to put the wrong people in power.
Well, let’s not do that then!
It definitely didn’t work out for the Weather Underground.
Right, all those Democrats fighting hard to protect your jobs and put limits on AI… The two bills they are working on definitely have teeth and do anything useful at all, it’s a fallacy.
No, it’s a fallacy that not voting is the right move because both sides.
Both sides are against me, I’m voting for a third almost always.
Which is basically the same as not voting in places like the US.
Yeah, you’re missing the point where both sides are against me and I’m not voting for the “lesser evil” for your comfort.
It has nothing to do with others comfort. Voting third party in a first past the post two party system helps the existing two parties maintain control. It is an unfortunate reality.
No, that’s twisting of reality. My vote for X didn’t help A or B as opposed to voting for A or B directly, as you want me to do.
I don’t want either party to win, because they’re both evil. You insisting on voting for the “lesser evil” because their evil doesn’t effect you enough is throwing me under the bus, so getting the “greater evil” is on you.
Oh I see. You are basing this on feelings. I totally agree this is how you feel. When you are ready to understand why the system is broken you can start below.
