Dang. What is left for us to do? Become their concubines?

Not much. But Elon Musk says not to worry. In the AI-run future, the government will simply give each person $50,000 each year. Use that money to buy the products that AI produces.
I see at least two problems with that.
1. There is pride in honest work. Your job is one of the first things you mention when talking to someone new at a party. With Musk’s plan, that pride is gone.
2. “Idle hands are the devil’s playthings.”
That old saying is very true, and will be very true.
