Always wondered. Who is going to buy stuff if noone has a job anymore (or income)?
The rich.
Small pool tho
You appear to underestimate the capacity of the rich to come up with ways to overspend.
At the end of it all, it will be the only pool with money.

And they will give us beer and bread, so theres that.
The robot’s wage should really go to you, to compensate you for taking your job.
Yup. It’s not like the robot is going to spend the money.

Good idea. That way there would be a 1-to-1 link between the replacement and the replaced.
Once we reach a saturation point of jobs lost to AI, we’ll have no choice but to either adopt UBI, or leverage the AI tech to “live for free”. That, or just eat whoever has the 5 jobs left and therefore all the money, which feels meaningless to the rest of us.
God, I can’t wait for AI to break money.
Reminds me of the Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. Artisans that are really good at their craft have their stuff bought by the ultra rich while the rest of society has to take what come out out of what I can only call a replicator.
As much as i’m all in for automation, art should still be a job or we need to rethink society so that people (REAL PEOPLE) can still make movies, big production, video games etc…
