Just wanted to open a thread dedicated to the topic which I find only ever more relevant today.
While very very very far from perfect still, AI progress have been staggering over the past few years, and investments in the industry have gone through the roof, especially in countries like France, China or the US.
It is, in a way, its own new industrial revolution, a new way to automate production. Alas much like the previous one, it can only be expected from the elites that work time will stay the same, only as a mean to multiply production without any benefit to the worker (nor the environnement either as well, should that be mentioned).
But it only brings closer the idea of making work not a necessity but a liberty, by the establishment of universal income and economy wide work automation (as long as it is reliable, of course, I wouldnt hand out a psychatrist job to chatgpt or grok anytime soon, but you get the idea)
So what do you guys think ? Could this be feasable in the medium to long term ? Is it really in line with socialist ideals despite it being an opportunity for elites to turn it to the profit of economic higher ups (as it is already happening, in fact) ?
Speak your mind!
