    Yes, I’m sure if AI makes a company’s workforce 40% more efficient, then CEOs will give employees 40% more free time and not just layoff 40% if their workforce.

    This is hyperbolic bullshit. It’s also a warning that executives and their boards are doing their best to will us into permanent serfdom if they get their way.

    It’s literally the only way for capitalism to keep going…

    When there’s not enough jobs to earn money for resources shit hits the fan.

    To compensate for technological advances the standard work week needs to shrink while wages at least stay the same. That way there’s more jobs.

    It’s literally the whole point of the Luddite movement when the auto look showed up.

      But what if our oligarchs just let 40% of us die, instead? Do they even notice a difference? They probably make more money.

        just like animals need to keep circulating blood to stay alive, so does the economy need to continue circulating consumer goods and products. without it, it’s dead and becomes worthless rather rapidly.

        basically, the economy has a stark interest in keeping consumerism running. that’s in fact such a large interest that it even justifies taxing the rich and redistributing money sothat it can flow in circles (from bottom to top, from top to bottom).

          taxing the rich

          Where exactly is that happening besides western Europe? I do not see that happening in the USA at the moment.
