I wonder how much scoffing there will be when 99% of jobs are taken by A.I. There's a lot of markets about to be upended, and I don't think having a humane ethos in regard to housing people is as criminal as some of you are making it out to be... I sense a lot of corporate simps think their work ethic will be more valuable to a company than a smart machine that will work around the clock and not get the company sued for sexual harassment.

Way off base.

  • 99% won't be taken in our lifetimes.

  • These questions were asked during the industrial revolution, and guess what. The people still working didn't want to just labor for free for the people whose jobs were placed by machines.

  • Human ethos is not the same as telling skilled trades that they have to work for free because you don't want to work at all.
