For some reason what is happening with AI and automation is very reminiscent of the horrors that happened during the industrial revolution, history repeats itself doesn’t it? Nya…

changes: i mean there are similarities with the loss of professions not everything matches what is happening now but some points are worrying. Especially given the likely collapse in the future, I think it may well be that most people will not have much choice, such as working for a small salary, and making money through creativity will be almost impossible and few will be able to afford such a luxury, given that the market will be under the complete control of corporations and AI.

I just know that those in power, once they see that they can do whatever they want, they will do it, and they won’t care whether you agree with it or not. They will crush you like an ant… :3

    “more leisure time”

    That’s not the only metric you should be looking at. In fact it’s a pretty terrible metric.

      How is leisure time terrible? And it wasn’t the only thing I was looking at. Clean air, clean water, sustainable production, green spaces, quality over quantity of products, sustainable production… But then I feel like you don’t want to actually engage. Go on and continue “industrial revolution good, low tech past bad” - I can’t help you here.
