      Those who proclaim themselves “socialists” are usually depressing, have no sense of humor & attended an expensive college. Fate loves irony.

      Universal income will be necessary over time if AI takes over most human jobs

          In the historical progression of technology, that would have taken place already, it creates new jobs as old ones die. Universal Basic Income? I’d back pedal in that one.

          We both know the real plan will be to reduce world population to pre-1920’s levels. All problems then solved.

          Elon, income for no production is not going to work. You might as well give them the drugs to dull their minds because that is what an idle person will end up doing when he has no purpose in life. Suicides will go up. You can't buy off an unproductive existence.

          AI will force the implementation of more socialist systems. It is a game changer for all things tied to the global economy.

          Have you heard the argument that we should have had #BasicIncome for a long time already? It's been a human rights issue (and general economic justice and systemic design elegance issue) since long before it was an automation and labor market issue. MLK pushed it for good reason.

          But for now, it would be taking money from people developping these AI to give it to people doing nothing. Totally counterproductive.

          I doubt he is wrong. He is a much deeper thinker and has pondered this more than most.

          If that was true he would never say he is a socialist. Socialism was worse than Nazism. Killed much more people. Go to Ukrain and visit the museum they built for the victims.

          cancelled the programs, BECAUSE they found out that giving money for free to people; does nothing than to create/support couch potatoes. READ people, READ! Educate yourselves and stop being the cows of socialism!

          robots break and need fixin, exceptions occur (eg, organs being shipped, live animals on airplanes) and frankly, every "AI" really needs a human babysitter.

          But not 100 million babysitters. The new jobs will number far fewer than the jobs lost, and many will be crappier jobs.

          its still far faster to order from a person than with a kiosk at say mcdonalds. customers need to be verbal about over-automating stuff. the customer experience generally goes down when things are over automated. price inflation will be horrific if basic income is done.
