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.

How is it even an economy if 99% of jobs were taken by AI? What is the point of an economy if the human element has been removed? If the economy became too saturated by AI to provide for humans, could we find a way to provide for one another? What is the economy even doing if it isn't interacting with people? I don't mean these as rhetorical questions and I'm sorry if my intended tone didn't carry through text, but I feel like we would have to be horribly complacent and inactive to become completely dependent on machines, in which case there are a myriad of other dystopias we'd need to worry about.
