I keep seeing comments here and elsewhere to the effect that the potential is a straight-line straight up, with no negatives. Will everybody get a pony as well?
I see nothing but negatives, on this side of eternity. If this were heaven and the New Earth, I would be a fanatic about this, because we would be freed up from labour to pursue our passions.
However, I believe the universal basic income, they are selling us on to get AI in control of society, will only be temporary and they will get around to cutting off support for everybody but the chosen.
America is the modern day Rome and that’s where Rome went in its last days. The elites supported the people, until they didn’t.
Pony and ice cream.
