Might sound a bit luddite-ish here, but I don't think it's good if we start casting aside our fellow humans for things that are potentially not even sentient (and before you say, "some people arguably aren't sentient either", you know what I mean); in any case, I doubt we'll have anything near sentient AI by 2030.

>It will survive but the Human Labour component won't.

If AGI and robotics do succeed one day, probably most of it won't. But in my opinion, that day is helluva long ways off still. I find it kinda interesting how this sub has already written off human labor when upon closer inspection, you'll realize for several reasons how far from the truth that is (again, my opinion).

But this I do agree with you on: NOBODY should have to work just to get by in an ideal world. A minimal UBI should already exist in rich societies just for that reason alone.

>nonsensical whining about progress

That seems like a pretty callous way of referring to artists concerns.

They're cowardly because they're considerate of their communitiy's feedback and took their concerns to heart? That's cowardly??

What percentage of jobs do you think?
