Sort of the John Henry meme where he was faster than > the steam drill. John Henry is a fair analogy. Yea, he barely beat the steam drill ... but it KILLED him. But NOW we're talking maybe a BILLION+ humans whose skill spectrum CANNOT compete with "AI". They're just not wired for it, or not smart enough, or something ... BIZ wants ROBOTS. MUCH easier to deal with on MANY levels. So, again, WHAT happens to all the obsoleted humans ? Seems to be NO plan, viable or not. Basically, they Just DIE HORRIBLY. Oh, clue, masses of unemployed humans CANNOT BUY yer AI-Cheapened Shit. This is where the biz/finance paradigm FALLS DOWN HARD. But won't show up on the quarterly reports for awhile yet .....

As long as the state could provide jobs. The state was obligated to
provide jobs.
This is a new situation, there will not be jobs. Ergo, the only solution
is an universal salary, which is, arguably, a form of communism. Never
meant to be compared with an actual existing or past actual government.

Perhaps there's a middle ground - a non-fanatical form of capitalism, perhaps. It will take some adjustment, though - ever since the 1980s, when greed became re-defined as a virtue, things have been going downhill. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | No artificial \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | intelligence was X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | used in the creation / \ if you read it the right way. | of this post.

In some when John falls dead his wife, Polly Ann, picks up the hammer and finishes the job. 'She drove steel like a man.' In other versions John has two women. The one dressed in red, or maybe blue, heads down the tracks and doesn't look back.

The Traveling McCourys did a good one about his support crew:
You swing the hammer, John, I'll hold the drill
I'll be your shaker, you know I always will
Careful with that hammer, my life is in your hands
If we don't make it through the mountain, John
I'll meet you over in the promised land

In today's paper is a picture of a poster at a bus stop that says:
Isn't it brilliant that one man gets to be a
trillionaire instead of everyone having food?
Being in the business section, the photo accompanies an article
talking about what a hero Elon Musk is.
