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?

    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.

            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.

                    No I’m basing it on my material condition, and Democrats are doing almost the same amount of harm to me and many others.

                    You’re basing it on your material condition, where you benefit more under them, and to hell with those they run over, THe hELL With ThosE tHE SYSTEM DesTroyS, i wIlL SUPPort iT as loNg AS IT WORKs For ME!

                    I have no obligation to lie down on the train tracks for you because you’re afraid of degrading your comfortable lifestyle, when you openly tell me I’m just a victim of a broken system you insist on participating in and not fixing.
