I alluded to societies where one's worth isn't tied to one's capacity to wage labor. There are countries in Europe that have had double digit unemployment rates for decades (i.e Spain) and artists can survive and even thrive. It seems exotic to the Anglosphere because much of Anglosphere's common culture, especially in North America, is rooted in cultural Calvinism where one's means of living must be justified by labor and being idle is looked down upon. Other societies exist where people can create art for its own sake and still live happily with their needs met. Also displacement from AI isn't something that only affects artists. My paid occupation isn't in art, but the hiring is way down because of AI. The more people affected, the more likely a solution will arise though. If it were just a problem that affected digital artists, then it would be a lot worse than it being a problem that affects a third to half of all occupations in the next decade (if not more.) |
How do we stop this? All I can think of is destroying AI data centers, but somehow destroying the technology that's ruining the economy makes ME the extremist.
I need AI to die because with all the jobs taken by AI I won't have nearly the income needed to have my own home. I'm in the my 30s, still living with my parents, and when they're gone I may have nowhere to go, all because of AI and the short sighted CEOs who glorified it, even trying to justify it's existence by saying "We're streamlining treatment of severe ailments!".
