Caveman go brrrrrrr indeed. Imho there are only two ways the current socio-economic situation will be resolved. Either UBI is implemented, or the peasants revolt. And god help the 1% if the latter comes to pass. This isn’t the middle ages, the peasants have borh technology and advanced knowledge at thier disposal.
I’m honestly a little confused by your comment. What do you mean? Perhaps some elaboration on my part will help us understand each other.
I honestly think that those are the two possible outcomes.
Unionization is a movement that is geared towards protecting the workers, but it’s not enough. Only UBI will be enough to keep average joes from falling into poverty.
The other alternative is that the workers fall into poverty, deeper and deeper, until they are fed up and revolt. If this happens it will be similar to past revolutions, but the general population is not only literate, they possess vast knowledge about engineering, chemistry, IT, and various other topics that were beyond the grasp of the lowest castes in the past.
I’m not parodying anything. AI is (currently) a paper tiger that many IT companies are pouring resources into to try and secure funding, but it’s not going to save the rich from an uprising.
Wow thanks for the rabbit hole! I’m not even sure what exactly you mean by referencing grok, but now I’m lost in various Wikipedia pages, and I’m amazed to see my favorite writer Heinlein is involved.
If you haven’t seen the movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix, I would recommend it. It explores a version of the AI tale where the AI do disagree with humanity ultimately, but they’re not hostile about it. It’s a really good movie in general, and it explores a potential that I feel is a lot more grounded than Skynet world-ending.
