There will be no UBI or any kind of Government handouts, pinko. If unemployment rises significantly and human spending capacity declines dramatically, we may need to create artificial demand through AI-driven consumption. To maintain the existing economic system, we might have to allocate resources to AI entities that can purchase goods and services, compensating for the reduced consumer spending power of an unemployed human population.

It's a necessity if they want to keep this consumerist system.

the average person is so fucking stupid that they believe whatever lame excuse they are given as to why 700k jobs disappeared in the US this year. lol yeah chatgpt wrappers are doing all those jobs for sure nbow. if that were true, and all those jobs were eliminated with no loss in productivity, there would be increased budget to hire people for other things, but that obviously isn't the case.

i implore everyone to actually read between the lines of what is happening. no one is talking about AI in terms of all the goods and services it can create for people to buy. very few companies are hiring in order to capitalize on this new trend like what happened during any other tech boom. all the marketing talk regarding AI is about cost-cutting and downsizing. no one is excited about it, no one really wants AI products, except soulless MBAs and retards who see it as a way to get rich. that should tell you what the actual driving force behind things is: the fact that almost everyone is just flat out broke

AI simply does not matter wrt job market. if the economy was doing well and AI managed to actually legitimately replace you, then you would get hired somewhere else doing something slightly different. but really AI is just a distraction of the real issues, like some keys being dangled in front of people, an excuse given as to why everything has to suck now

pushing UBI is just a very kneejerk reaction to the issue
>people have no job and are poor? give people money then!
we could have had UBI ages ago but it just doesn't really work very well. if you put 50% of the population on UBI then you will have created a huge division between 2 halves of the population in terms of wealth, social power and political power. it'd be a very unstable and unequal society. the smarter and saner thing to do is what we have been doing for the past 200 years or so already, which is to use the surplus wealth to give people jobs, let people start new businesses, etc.

in states lead by morons it won't happen. decline and chaos will follow.
in forward looking states it's an inevitability of extreme automation and capital accumulation.

They will just create more bullshit jobs. Because those people running things like having underlings and they like how people fight each other for connections with them so that they can get better jobs

it looks like the "replace all humans with AI" guys are at the wheel right now instead of the "create dumb jobs for NPCs" guys

Yep, greedy corporate cunts are scrambling for any last-ditch attempt to squeeze as much line upward growth as possible before everything collectively shits the bed and they retire with their golden parachutes.
>which is to use the surplus wealth to give people jobs, let people start new businesses
Through which instrument, though? Taxes? The state is already in on the current racket, and any tax increase will be offloaded to the customers.
The only real solution is to end the fiat system altogether and make currency convenient measures of finite specie like it used to be, but that's a pipe dream at this point.
