General public is going to get used by elites. Propaganda is already out there to make people hate AI. Of course AI is going to make big changes to job market. People have to demand that we accept AI and upgrade the way we do things so people don’t end up in sewer tunnels. Entire system has to upgrade so everyone can live wholesome fulfilling lives while AI does most of the work. But elites don’t want that. Elite will coarse people to reject AI and AI derived advancements will remain in a closed bubble.

And what then?
What happens when they replace workers with AI powered machines?
If they cut the costs so hard that the average person doesn’t make any money, who the fuck is gonna be buying their products?
What’s the fucking endgame for this genius?
What an idiot

I’m not a powerful person and I want human workers replaced by machines. Sign me up.
The problem is, in a market economy with a monetary system, you need a UBI in order to do that. Otherwise, society is stuck on a treadmill of creating superfluous jobs to allow people to chase their incomes down.
AI or no AI, we probably don’t even need a large portion of the paid jobs that exist today. If UBI was providing both a financial incentive for firms to produce, and the financial means of allowing more voluntary unemployment, we could discover how much paid work is actually even useful.
We need to take off the „pro-jobs“ blinders and realize that more leisure-time is both possible and desirable.

Yes. The real issue isn’t AI, it’s some of the World’s richest people want to extra all the money saved from replacing humans, rather than distributing it in some form of Universal Basic Income; we just get the scraps. They want their version of Elysium

Industrialists:
„We’re going to replace all our workers with AI, which will allows us to make incredible products at incredible profit.“
Everybody Else:
„So… if you’re getting rid of all the workers… who will be able to afford your products?“

Their biggest delusion is that they will somehow escape being killed by the mobs of people they impoverished.

With current birth rates i would say they will be pretty successful with their goal.

And they will succeed. Reading between the lines of any interview with a tech giant these days is an easy translation that they not only expect a major culling of the global human population, but that they are preparing and optimizing for it. Human capital will hold very little demand, so supply will adjust accordingly. This isn’t rocket science. These dudes have enough money and power to ride out the upheaval ahead, and will have robotic-AI at their disposal on the other end.

In an [interview with CNBC,](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/will-ai-replace-humans-yoshua-bengio-warns-of-artificial-intelligence-risks.html) computer science luminary Yoshua Bengio said that members of an elite tech „fringe“ want AI to replace humans.
“There are people who might be happy to see humanity replaced by machines,“ Bengio claimed. „I mean, it’s a fringe, but these people can have a lot of power, and they can do it unless we put the right guardrails right now.“
