  • So I agree with piracy, however one thing to keep in mind is that our economy and productivity are only in existence because of the land and equipment (as well as the labor) that it takes to produce them.

    If 100% of income went to the workers, there’s nothing to pay for equipment and land that is also necessary for production. Ugly as capitalism is, the end result is a productive economy. A lot of the wealth is captured in land and equipment.

    Now, you can argue that the workers should own the land and means of production. That I could agree with. But you simply can’t produce anything without paying for land and equipment plus labor.



  • I think AI isn’t going to replace the upper level of programmers, but I do believe the absolute number of programmers will drop as AI completes more and more of the labor involved in coding.

    A lot of entry level jobs just won’t exist anymore, because the AI will do the typing work while a small number of people manage the AI.

    And this will apply to pretty much all white collar work - at least that’s my prediction.

    I believe that besides blue collar jobs, AI will practically eradicate the middle class, and sadly there won’t be a UBI to pick up the slack. But maybe I’m just too damn cynical.
