During the lockdown there were no jobs because there was no work that could be done.
If A.I takes over majority of labour then there will be no jobs because there is no work that can/needs to be done by people.
In the lockdown the only options were provide stimulus checks or have the masses die from homelessness & starvation.
In an A.I dominated labour market the only options will be provide UBI or have the masses die from homelessness & starvation.
I’m as skeptical as the next guy and don’t think the machine owners and the rich will just give up control and their wealth so easily but I just don’t see why UBI seems so incomprehensible to so many.
Why are so many so incapable of thinking beyond the current economy and the current ways?
