I think this is a great reply! I agree work sucks and if we could minimize it, that should be the goal. BUT, the problem I worry, is that instead of using AI to minimize work, we just use it to maximize disparity. I don't see how we avoid this, and it's really disturbing.

That's why I think urban farming is so important. With the advances in greenhouse and hydroponic technology, paid for in large part by the cannabis industry, you're welcome, we'll be able to do stuff like take over strip malls and turn them into food forests. Aquaponics, hydroponics, vertical farming. The best way to protect the future of the individual is to be stewards of the land directly around us. There's enough lawn space in the US that we don't need commercial farming. If like 1 in 10 people kept chicken we don't need a commercial chicken industry. As the institutional foundation system and is collapse, new technology can make our lives amazing, just on a more local scale then we are used to thinking about. Globalization doesn't make sense with diesel at $5 a gallon, and Exon mobile making record profits means that's not gonna change anytime soon. Set up a little garden and build it from there, that's freedom

Last summer I did my first mini garden with a stepped planter box. Actually did too well because my tomatoes overgrew the garden after a while. Excited to expand with less wasted tomatoes this year.

That's so awesome. When ai takes the jobs we'll have more freeing to turn the extra tomatoes into sauce and paste and jar them and bam, self sufficient

There's a lot of small businesses that still don't understand the concept of scripted automation, to take the place of repeatable actions, they probably aren't ready for AI but most likely will make that jump and skip the interim that big businesses have had for decades, simply because AI is becoming more accessible and user friendly.

Lots of boring repetitive filling and researching kinda jobs are gonna be gone. Or at least reduces to advisory and liability roles where people double check what the robots produce. But like accountants, lots of tertiary jobs in real estate. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you can use your finger print to get something AI notorized. My wife is in systems furniture, she does the furniture for hospitals and museum, it's pretty cool I'm super proud of her. But like how long before AI can just generate all possible options upon entering the dimensions of a space. I work in the legal weed business, no robot is going to stop people from buying weed, but I could see an AI being able to recommend products based on desired effects and taking my job. I think it's great, work fuckin sucks. I hope everyone just starts urban farming, farm your front lawn. Grow good every where. That's the future of free time
