Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman warns AI is a ‘fundamentally labor replacing’ tool over the long term::Despite today’s AI hype, it’s still a “truly transformational” technology that will replace jobs unless policy steps in, Suleyman said.
…Which means people can labor less without losing their quality of life, right?
@LWD @L4s Ha ha ha. No.
It means people get to starve in poverty because society has simultaneously decided that if you are t already rich then you must work as a moral imperative, but there is no work, and so while starving in poverty is unavoidable, you deserve it anyway.
Because we live in a fucking dystopia.
What is the path to UBI from here? AI tax?
In a more reasonable world, it would be something levied at the people who demand (and have been receiving) infinite growth…
@los_chill @LWD there isn’t one. The oligarchs and billionaires want feudalism.
A wealth tax.
That would only happen if people thought the disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.
