If my earning ability is harmed by AI, so be it. There's more to life than how much I earn, and opposing the spread of technology to maximize my earnings is bad.

If your earning ability is eliminated due to AI and you can't survive off of welfare or savings there will not be much more to your life other than starving to death.

[slibhb]

Nuclear war is a more likely scenario.

Welfare? There won't be welfare. Remeber that ubi was a bait and switch. The tech bro oligarchy already pivoted away from it.

So you rather be poor and talk to ChatGPT than rich and live a normal life?

[scotty79]

Would you rather be poor in XXI century or rich in XIII? Are you rich in "normal" life? Hint: If you sell the time of your life for money you are not rich.

[ulfw]

? What does this have to do with anything ? Huh?

[scotty79]

AI is a technology. Probably as significant as a steam engine. I'd rather be poor in the world with this technology than average in the world where it doesn't exist.

That's an insanely privileged, luxury pov. Peak hn. Some people have responsibilities, bills, dependants etc

[slibhb]

Nah just focused less on money then you, I guess!

[lbrito]

You have to be wealthy to have the luxury of not worrying about money. Unless you're a monk. Mere mortals don't have the luxury of not caring about not having a job or money

Amazing that this has to be spelt out. Peak hn.
