41·8 months ago- You overestimate that likelihood that the abundance of wealth and income created by AI will be shared. This is simply not requirement. I see no reason why automating everything must result in owners of capital more evenly distributing their gain such that we can live more easily. Elon Musk and his billionaire company currently have hundreds of billions of dollars while people literally starve in the streets and communities drink leaded water in the same country. So, you’re right, it’s not going to work in a capitalistic world. We’ll just transition back to feudalism.
- I hate that extended horse analogy. I get what you’re saying, but…umm, no. I don’t want to be cared for and groomed like a horse in a stable. Also, horses don’t make meaning like humans do. Their horse-cart pulling isn’t “working” in the same way a low-wage employee at Amazon that hates their job works.
