Overlooking the fact these very expensive AI-Fluent workers have zero domain specific, let alone your business/product specific, information required to be useful as an AI wrangler and you will still have to rehire those experts too.

When AI does every job better than humans, how do we pay rent?

This isn't dystopian fiction — it's an economic design problem we need to solve NOW.

We're choosing between two futures: aristocratic life for everyone, or poverty for most while AI wealth concentrates at the top.

7 solutions that could actually work:

#Work is a matter of power and domination.
#Work should be a concern of political theory.

Attending the Conservative Party conference today - (attended lib dems, attending Labour too) - I’m worried broadly about #PostWork. Lots of focus on near term - my worry, what happens when opportunity is withdrawn from distressed regions? Say 2040, if we have a limited base of jobs… how do we handle upskilling, valuing following passion, access to resources?

#UBI #Socialism #Communism #Capitalism: #Work #WageSlavery #PostWork: "The question is not whether but when work can be an expression of our freedom. I cannot lay out here the full conditions under which we can be free not just from but through work. But a few last points are worth making about the kinds of social freedom that a shared labor regime makes possible. One is that we can recover a piece of the post-work vision not by attacking the work ethic but by reconceptualizing it. In a society where everybody is ready to do their share of the necessary labor, nobody is forced to work. That is because, if someone were to stop doing what has to be done, others would step in and do it, meaning all the necessary work would still get done. Moreover, in a society where everybody is ready and willing to do their share as a matter of internal motivation, nobody would have to do all that much. The eight-hour day might become the four-hour day. That is the heart of the traditional connection between sharing labor and leisure in a socialist society. Sharing labor is the path to avoiding having to force people to work and to securing free time for everyone."
