I feel like guaranteed basic income and a reduction in what's considered a full-time work week are basically inevitable at this point.

Maybe somewhere but I don't see that happening so easily in this country. I mentioned it a week or two ago and super liberal JE even had a problem with it.

A lot of younger people do know their history and are aware that communism failed horribly. It's just hard not to think some type of socialist society is going to have to become acceptable when you see the A.I. revolution starting and it's only going to pick up steam. At some point in my life the whole idea that only lazy people don't work is going to have to change or excrement is going to get pretty bad.

Difference between knowing and actually being involved in it first hand. IE dying in war, constant undercurrent of nuclear war.

I don't so much have a problem with it as I do more questions than opinions. In principle I like the idea; Ontario has plans to do a pilot programme so I'll be interested to see if and how it works.

I get where you are coming from. It's just that in the past the system was relying on humans and in the coming years it will be robots we are leaning on to do the labor. Plenty of human related bullshit to work out along the way but we'll see what happenes when it's not a McDonald's cashier being replaced but solid middle class jobs like truck driving.

Oh, definitely. I worry about that excrement all the time.  I mean we'll probably be dead or dying by then but still.

I'm not all that worried with automation. Populations will begin to shrink in most developed countries anyway, and rather than take on immigrants from poorer countries, we'll just build robots to do most of the work. Things will even out as you'll have more efficiency despite a smaller consumer base.

When I say inevitable I mean that it has to happen eventually, not that it's going to happen anytime soon or without opposition.

The Chevy ad with that sow who says "it's the whole business in the front, party in the back sort of thing" gives me a visceral reaction whenever I hear her say that.  My wife is worried I might hunt her down and skin her alive if I see it a few more times.

More annoying to me are those fake focus group ads. I think they're Chevy too. I don't even remember what carmaker since I hate that commercial so much.

There's a couple of them. I think Toyota has one also but the Chevy one is by far the most insufferable and the one most played frequently.

I don't really understand how those commercials keep getting greenlit when anybody I know not only hates, but despises those commercials. These are not paid actors. Get the freak outta here with that.
