[QUOTE="samzeman, post: 181889, member: 11182"] If there aren't enough jobs, that's a good thing. At the very dawn of civilisation and humanity, when we developed agriculture, that's when there was suddenly enough food that not everyone had to be working all the time. So, leaders and spiritual people emerged, people whose job it was to think. 23k years later and we're planning things like space elevators and we already have magnificent stuff like the internet. However, at a point we stopped progressing and just decided that 1 or 2% of the population wouldn't have to work, and everyone else should work or starve. Although it wasn't decided by us ;) nor any secret global conspiracy. The names of the extremely unjustly rich people who never have to work a day in their life are public knowledge. Billionaires are stinky. A society where you don't have to work to survive is a good society. A society where excess jobs are created /because/ people need a job to live, is inefficient. AI and automation, when it reaches a certain point, will change our society, I think for the better. Capitalism can't survive when the most efficient and profitable method doesn't involve a vast pool of expendable workers. Not to sound massively communist or anything lmao. But I don't really see capitalism surviving in a post-manpowered world. Unless every job becomes creative, in which case that's sort of scary because creative stuff shouldn't really be assigned a monetary value, especially if lives hang in the balance. [/QUOTE]
