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?
That was a fun read, thanks for bringing it up.
Of course we are well on the way to exterminism. We already lose anywhere from 20-50 million people each year due to pollution. That is about a billion people in the last 40 years who have died for our collective march to greed over every other human ideal. This number will continue to accelerate.
