  • I wouldn’t make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.

    Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.

  • Adapt or die. Societies that do not adapt to these changes will not have a good time. It’s easy to ignore workers and just say “well, you’re replaced, now fuck off”. If the government doesn’t take care of them and keep them happy, it could easily have negative consequences for the government.

    Imagine if 30% of the workforce were fired within 5 years and couldn’t get a job because AI did everything. Would 30% of the population just be happy going from something to homeless? How would the country absorb such a change? Governments can keep looking at the shiny money companies pay them to look the other way, but just because they ignore to see things doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. Either they are forward thinking and prepare or they will find themselves up a creek.

    I think it’s a good attempt, but I’m not sure how it can be enforced. It would also need to be applicable to different jurisdictions. The project maintainer would have to know that somebody requesting a feature, commenting or participating in discussions is doing so in the name of the company 🤔

    Thank you for sharing this. It’s food for thought.
