Lawyers cannot be replaced. I mean they are all in Congress right. So they will come up with additional rules that will shield them.

Tell your kids to become lawyers because if lawyers are replaced that will be the wind of the world lol.

Can you image in America, lawyers giving up that extravagant lifestyle lmao. Hell no. They will take the country down with them.


They aren't any closer to replacing the surgeons either.

Many surgeons use robotic arms. Soon, we won’t need humans to operate them.

OP is talking about Universal Basic Income (UBI). It's the idea of guaranteeing all people some basic financial subsistence, paid out as a government benefit, regardless of whether they work or not.

A lot of tech bros like UBI because it's their proposed solution to automation and AI making so many jobs obsolete.

It was once a far left idea, a form of socialism, but due to AI it's become more embraced by libertarians or corporate tech bros, and people on the left are more likely to talk about using social democratic ideas to protect jobs.

I want to work. It gives me dignity. I don't want some random dude with flip flop wearing short and a wrinkly shirt, weird AF, can barely make a normal eye contact telling giving his opinion about my life

Just why?


You get “dignity” from … work?

Weird. So weird.

Work is highly overrated. You are probably the only one on the planet who thinks like this.

They want a broliarchy.

They listen to each other and repeat others' ideas, just like normal people do; they agree with what they think sounds smart and follow trends.

Well, I would like the dignity of not working, because the idea that I need to work to live is ridiculous. I like the idea of AI doing everything, and I get guaranteed income to do whatever I want to do to enjoy myself and my time on earth.


America does not believe in everyone being equal. Why do you think we have zoning? There is nothing more American than driving by some neighborhood and seeing pristine homes with beautiful streets secluded from the mass and then a few miles away people on top of each other with terrible road.

They want to make AI sound like a good thing. We all know that guaranteed income won’t be a thing though— instead it’s going to be tech bros making a ton of money and the majority of people grinding making barely enough to survive.

Look at the all the products you useat home and at work? Who created them?

Look at how you now meet your potential partner? Who defined the rules?

They are prophets whether you like it or not.

Back to your question regarding guaranteed income. Again it's in line with the way they live their lives. They rather play video game all day, get high on ketamin and prepare for the zombie apocalypse. That's what they want to do. So one way to achieve that goal is to automate everything possible so they don't have to work.

The way you sleep, eat, work, how you meet your partner, your mode of transportation, the way you get treated I mean every single aspect of your life was planned by some dude in a city in California. Think about that...

So the media will of course give them space to speak.

Because this country is sinking fast and the only way to save yourself is to make as much money as fast as you can.

They are obsessed with it because they realize that the only way that they can achieve their goal--that everything is automated, including thinking--is if the now unemployed mass of humanity has something with which to pay them. Secondarily, they don't want mobs of angry people rounding them up and guillotining them. Sam Altman has been droning on about this since 2015--that's when the logical progression of AI starting hitting people. There was a lot of writing and thinking about this a decade ago, and it's now hitting the mainstream. And yes, of course work is important and has dignity.
