Dead serious choice between UBI or genocide of any resistance to oligarchy. A slave class is super useful… when its labour is needed. Fascist extermination of anyone uppity has more short term profits.
Palantir Zionazi absolutist pig fucker, Alex Karp, this morning, said his surveillance state software, entirely for Skynet genocide power, will help solve poverty. Both him and Elon Musk, say any of their shareholders who don’t agree with every theft they conduct against them, are terrorist woke scum. Elon needs mechahitler to control a 1M robot army ($250k a piece), or helping Tesla is a waste of time. Meanwhile China has better humanoid robots from multiple vendors released today below $16k.
The end result of genociding every American other than top 5m who can afford healthcare, is a tiny isolated economy that no one wants to trade with. The process though, is extremely profitable for the suppliers of genocide equipment. Even when the genocide is complete, the robot army can protect power.
Good satire makes you feel a combination of amusement and focused fury. This does that.
Hell, the post headline had me there already.
Instead, AI-powered euthanasia pods will be provided for those who are economically surplus to requirements.
For a humble fee of course
Each employee will sit in a pod at the end of the work day so the AI can decide which ones need to be euthanized
In actual non-ironic news, UBI is not just the best but the only plausible remedy for AI job losses that I have ever heard of. It’s still not a great solution, though. A disturbingly small number of people are able to derive meaning from anything other than work.
And people without meaning get nasty.
Except there’s one small problem: AI is nowhere near ready to replace humans at the scale tech CEOs claim it will or even does. All what CEOs did is to force smaller crew to work 72 hours a week, which sure will be very sustainable in the short run.
So make them pick up trash or something to get the check? Your argument sounds a lot like perfection getting in the way of progress.
“them”, right.
Yes, the people without meaning. Your antecedent.
