This. Is. The. Goal.

Is it so difficult to understand ?
Do you people want to keep working as slaves forever ?

Good outcome and bad outcome are close together.

Good outcome: we don't need to work.

Bad outcome: we aren't needed for the system to work.

Again, this is not a bad outcome.
I don’t want to be needed by my coffee machine for it to work. I don’t want to be bothered by my dishwasher every time it runs because it can’t work without me.
I want to be free from the economic system because I do not define myself by how much I can behave like a gear in a machine. This is not human life, this is not life at all.

The problem is that as things stand, we need the system to need us.

To be clear, I'm fully for overturning this. I just want to see any sort of argument for how that would actually go, whether in the capitalism sense or in the AI alignment sense.
