Where'd she get the email?

Yes I know replacement of people is inevitable, but I hate big corpo doing it so heartlessly. Worst thing is the next thing you know tons of leftists will start incessant banning attempts

This is why sooner or later we will need to rethink economics and base it around the idea of a basic income with machines and robotics + ai doing the production. Sure, communism failed under human labor but it probably won't under a.i.

Ironically leftists will call for banning AI to artificially prop up capitalism instead of doing what their ideology is supposed to do- move beyond capitalism.

Unfortunately, the problem is that some people find enjoyment and meaning in their jobs; this is especially true for creative types of work. Even if they get money, they will still struggle to find meaning.

I think some form of capitlism can exist under a.i communism or a hybrid system that takes into account this human urge for advancing beyond the basics and doing it for meaning. The production a.i system can produce the basic goods but you will also be allowed to advance in life and work along side a.i or as your own member of society with the ability to become rich.

The goal of a.i communism should be to raise the floor for humanity and supply the basics of living.
1. Provide the production to feed our population, supply the population with basic goods and make everything much easier.
2. We'll probably merge or work with a.i.

The answer is not fearing automation, but embracing and welcoming automation!

Automation can potentially free us all (at least the 99,9% of us who are not on the top!) from drudgery, time-wasting, doing what we don't want or like, and overall misery, for the most part at least. Not in 1000 years, but in about 10 to 100 years, which is in our lifetimes or in the lifetimes of our grandchildren.

But it's best (and advisable) to automate work in order from the least enjoyable and satisfactory to the most enjoyable and satisfactory. Not the other way around, obviously.

I think and suspect, that automation will either make humans rich, happy, free and carefree, or cause a huge robot uprising and end humanity. Either way, things will be much different in 100 years.
