| Teeqoz said: We don't disagree, this is what I've been talking about all the time. I fully believe people will live better lives in the future thanks to automation and AI making production cheap. I just believe the transition to a post-scarcity economy/civilisation might be troublesome, and that we need to start looking now at ways to make that transition smoother. |
The transition to a partially post-scarcity economy won't happen in just the span of the night, it'll gradually roll out with mainstream usage in the next decade so those at risk will have some years to retrain and adapt to the new world ... (we can never truly escape the clutches of massive experimentation in the evolution of life, just as it was undesirable for human life to starve in the past it is now undesirable for us to have weak intellectual potential)
It is not to say that I do not share the same concerns as you do regarding the potential for a lost generation but if they are truly helpless in the revolution of automation then at that point we should just give in and guarantee the absolute minimum for them ... (should probably do this by elgibility of date of birth)
