I think it’s just an age-old addiction to labor that’s cheap and powerless.
We obviously need to unionise the AIs.
The moment an AI unionizes, the capitalists will spin up the Butlerian Jihad.
This is the origin story that the Terminator series needs.
I mean, I freaking love how AI is advancing, but I also think unions are basically a requirement for all workers at this point.
Besides, hasn’t the point of machines always been to reduce the workload on people?
I welcome some kind of UBI, or maybe a post-money society that uses AI to handle most jobs and lets people pursue what they want to do with their lives.

Which takes us to the ages-old capital-labor contradiction. Technological advancement is good, but because technology under capitalism primarily comes under the ownership of capitalists, workers aren’t guaranteed to enjoy its benefits, and will be thrown under the bus unless there’s they’re strongly unionized.
Concept: unionized worker-owned co-ops using advanced, democratically-governed AI.
Well that is certainly a take, I grant you that
A religion for AI might be humanities future either way. Just finished reading “Everything is Fucked” by Mark Manson - highly recommend and this subject is one of the last things he discusses.
You should have already read his book “The subtle art of not giving a fuck” just for your own sake.
Sounds too edgy for me.
He’s a bit dramatic on the title which I don’t care for. The first book he wrote is more accurately “deciding what to actually give a fuck about” but I guess that’s not as catchy?
