    We need base Income for everyone, at some point … the problem that some earn more than anyone could ever spend, while many can’t afford food, will just become worse.

    Meaningful work is the precondition to enjoying life. Socialism is not about empty hedonism while robots do everything. Socialism is about workers ruling this world, meaningful labor that contributes to society, having enough resources and leasure time to enjoy yourself.

    But it’s not about not working.

    Once we reach a saturation point of jobs lost to AI, we’ll have no choice but to either adopt UBI, or leverage the AI tech to “live for free”. That, or just eat whoever has the 5 jobs left and therefore all the money, which feels meaningless to the rest of us.

    God, I can’t wait for AI to break money.

    As much as i’m all in for automation, art should still be a job or we need to rethink society so that people (REAL PEOPLE) can still make movies, big production, video games etc…

      i’d say “now I’m free to actually enjoy life” means that people can do the jobs they want to without worrying whether they can afford to eat or not, so everyone can be an artist or make video games if they so wish.
