I’m not Admiral Patrick of the former dubvee.org I just play along to waste the time of those who believe they are successfully harassing him.

  • I think about this a lot and I don’t have a good answer. In theory, “free labor” from machines can mean that all humans are free to work on whatever they want, whenever they want to without sacrificing a comfortable life. (ie: “I don’t want AI to make art and music I want it to do my laundry so I can make art and music”).

    But I also don’t think that having a universal “safety net” (baseline) will eliminate human greed or desire for status. Not everyone can have a mansion. A social movement is needed that shifts values and priorities to smaller, more personal goals.

    And as you’ve highlighted, getting from here to there requires some big assumptions. My fear is that global civilization will have to hit some kind of “rock bottom of greed” before we collectively are able to move on.
