Not only that, but with the increasingly credible threat of automation looming, I don't think we should be looking to traditional economic wisdom for advice about labor shortages.

If we run out of resources, the rich will taste good.

Cringe af. Can you please stop with the constant violent rhetoric? This does not solve any problems and instead divides humanity. You will not create a better future by killing more people.

History repeats itself. Unless laws change to reign in the 1% and the billionair class, heads will guaranteeably roll...the question is whether it's sooner or later. It just comes down to a question of how much are people willing to put up with before someone takes matters into their own hands, and that will be the catalyst that causes change. Either others will follow suit, or the laws will get passed to control these people.

Economic violence is violence. The war has begun

By that logic the war has never ceased and has been going on basically forever

You're telling me the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles? I think you might onto something there 🤔

Oceania was always at war with Eurasia.

We'd have a better present right now if we guillotined rich fucks and their bootlickers.

Don’t kid yourself Richard, If Zuckerberg ever got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you care about!

But seriously, you worry about a divided humanity? We’ve been divided for centuries, and the people at the top aren’t going to willingly step down from their mountain of corpses to slum it with the rest of us.

It requires killing a lot fewer people than the .01% kills every day through economic violence. They're just a walking trolley problem at this point.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Totally agree. Instead of trying to create understanding, violence and thinking of other people as non-human only tears people apart.

All rights are won through violence.

Automation considered a threat is sad. What fucked up world we live in.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It has to be deprivatised if it's going to be a positive for humanity, otherwise it's just another upward wealth transfer.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yep. Basically we already have answer to question "what if we had replicator?" and it is "DMCA". Technology is not enough for society to be better.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Our modern rich think that with enough technology they can insulate themselves from our power entirely. The way I see it we either prove them wrong, or die.

Automation (eliminating work) only is a problem (eliminating jobs) in our shitty economic system.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The economic system (capitalism) only values AI for its ability to create problems for us (poor people)
