Imagine this scenario:
- All companies start producing mostly using only AI and firing people, because people have no use anymore
- Joe spend most of his income on digital video games products
- Joe get fired because he got replaced by AI now, since AIs are taking over most jobs
- Joe has no income anymore
- Joe doesn’t have any more money to spend on video games
- Companies have no more profit, because people don’t have income, so people can’t spend on their AI produced products
In this scenario both lose, the company adopting AI and the worker. Am I missing something? Is there any possibility besides Universal Basic Income to keep the system running and not collapsing?


Both sides are against me, I’m voting for a third almost always.
Which is basically the same as not voting in places like the US.
Yeah, you’re missing the point where both sides are against me and I’m not voting for the “lesser evil” for your comfort.
It has nothing to do with others comfort. Voting third party in a first past the post two party system helps the existing two parties maintain control. It is an unfortunate reality.
No, that’s twisting of reality. My vote for X didn’t help A or B as opposed to voting for A or B directly, as you want me to do.
I don’t want either party to win, because they’re both evil. You insisting on voting for the “lesser evil” because their evil doesn’t effect you enough is throwing me under the bus, so getting the “greater evil” is on you.
Oh I see. You are basing this on feelings. I totally agree this is how you feel. When you are ready to understand why the system is broken you can start below.

No I’m basing it on my material condition, and Democrats are doing almost the same amount of harm to me and many others.
You’re basing it on your material condition, where you benefit more under them, and to hell with those they run over, THe hELL With ThosE tHE SYSTEM DesTroyS, i wIlL SUPPort iT as loNg AS IT WORKs For ME!
I have no obligation to lie down on the train tracks for you because you’re afraid of degrading your comfortable lifestyle, when you openly tell me I’m just a victim of a broken system you insist on participating in and not fixing.
I am sure plenty of Democratic people don’t even know you. Pretending they are directly harming you is an emotional response.
You aren’t speaking from knowledge and instead speaking to your feelings. There is nothing wrong with that.
What a stupid thing to say. Their policies directly harm me, the policies you support and dismiss as “lesser evil” directly harm me and my people. It’s material harm, and emotional too, but par for the course to dismiss that as well.
As long as you’re not harmed, that’s the priority. I must vote blue, and if I don’t I’m to blame.
