I read a comment on the last post asking how anyone thinks AI replacing us is a good thing for non-rich people. I genuinely would like to see a future where I don't have to work and can spend time with family and friends. Where no one is forced to work to survive or provide for their family. Where meaning will come from the community not from wage slavery.
However unless the people in charge change the social contract ( UBI/automation tax/ sovereign wealth funds) there will be another mass violent revolt, as there has been with every technological revolution. I am not advocating for violence mind you, I am just stating that governments have never given worker protections without mass riots.
I hope we can get to post scarcity without violence, but but based on history, that probably won't be the case.
