Submission statement:
Good article that talks about automation and AI taking over jobs (which is a good thing and is already happening), but how our leaders have NO PLAN whatsoever (that we know of, at least) what happens after all the jobs are gone. Who’s gonna buy shit when no one has a job? UBI? Universal basic services? Where are they?
Not to speak of the lack of purpose and drive most people will experience when they don’t have a job anymore that can define their identity and provide with status and power among peers. Even blue-collar jobs are not safe anymore. Companies like Figure are constantly improving and Amazon is planning to replace hundreds of thousands of workers with robots.
So where do we go from here? The elimination of (bullshit) jobs should be a good thing, but with our current socioeconomic structures in place it seems more dystopian than utopian.
(also, repost because apparently I didn’t provide a submission statement at first)
A grand civilizational experiment. What do the unwashed masses do when there is no need for their labor? Pursue the arts and personal hobbies? Paint great works? Write great novels? Live in government subsidized cargo containers, subsisting on seaweed rations, while engrossed in virtual reality?
