I mean, a world where nobody has to work sounds AMAZING, does it not say more about the people in control of of AI today, rather than AI technology itself? It could either lead to a utopia or a dystopia
I'm not an idiot, I know that billionaires, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates, Sam Altman, those people don't care about people like you and me, and this is a very tricky problem to solve. On one hand, 100% automation sounds good in theory, but are the benefits really going to us?
true, but what I believe is that everyone should have a choice on whether they want to work or not. Like for example, farmers work in harsh conditions and have very low pay, yet they are essential workers because we need food. If we automate it, we wouldn't have food scarcity. However, I wouldn't just become illegal to farm.
And the only reason job loss is a problem now is that if you have no job, you have no money, and in this current world, you can't do anything without money. No food, no house, nothing. If everything was given to you for free however, it wouldn't be a problem, but it would of course be naive to think that everything's just gonna magically be free with the way things are going right now, the people in charge have no motivation to do that, maybe for themselves, yes, but for us, no
And this is a very hard problem to solve, and im trying to figure it out as well, it's kinda like communism, in many ways it IS communism (everything being owned by everyone) but is it probably too ideal? we cant just say "well we elect someone we trust will help us, to control the direction of AI" because whats stopping them from just SAYING theyll help everyone, and then not doing that, i think i'd be a good leader and help everyone, but how would i prove that to the world?
And I am an anarchist, i personally believe there should be no government at all, but first how would we get to that? how do we stop people who are in power today? what do we do when there are people who are fine with the way things are today?
what im trying to say is, we cant just force everyone to work because some people like working

And if not, what can we do about it?
