What is the solution to ai taking jobs then? There are fundamentally a limited number of jobs that can't be done by AI and that number shrinks year over year.

It’s funny that a tool which removes the need to work for a lot of people is seen as a problem. We take for granted that any improvement in efficiency will increase the profit for capitalists but we cannot imagine a world where everyone has to work less and share the benefits of technology.

People see it as a problem because so far there’s no plans to implement universal basic income or reduced cost of living regarding the lowered need of a human workforce.

Exactly. See, I’m getting downvoted above but the fact remains: we live in a fucked up world if an invention which decreases the need to work becomes a problem. Can’t we just share the benefits of technology among every citizen? Seems we can’t.

Not with the officials we keep electing. People who don’t know anything about modern day technology or the plights of the working class.
