What does *he* envision a hypothetical scenario where AI has taken over an extremely large amount of the labor?

I'll grant that it is an *unlikely* scenario, but should it come to pass that we manage huge reductions in the need for human labor, and large chunks of the population pretty much have to 'stop working' whether they like it or not, what does he imagine the outcome?

Make an argument that AI isn't going to be *that* game changing, sure. But I really dislike the argument that humans don't deserve to get by unless they are somehow needed for work. Everyone do their part, but if there aren't as many parts to be done...

Particularly rich from a spoiled guy who hasn't had to *really* work a day of his life...

Probably for everyone not rich or in a job to service the rich that AI cant do to "die and decrease the surface population"

First of all itâ(TM)s closer to 10 months of direct active work, teachers usually have faculty weeks before and after the school year, second of all itâ(TM)s really 12 months because most teachers spend most of the summer doing professional development/continuing ed and class prep work, third of all that number is very skewed by a few places where teacher pay happens to be very good, at least after they hot a decent level of seniority, like NYC, the majority of teachers arent making 84k or more. My wife is a HA science teacher btw, Iâ(TM)m a software engineer, she works 3 times as hard as me for 1/3 the pay

Calling out Apple of all companies here is interesting considering that Chrome was originally a fork of Webkit, Apple's framework, the form of KHTML that eventually replaced KHTML in its open source uses and is actively developed by Apple and the community today. I'd argue Apple's been far more benevolent overall to the public web with WebKit than Google has with Chrome at least

Thatâ(TM)s a touch misleading, MacOS is at 5% when mobile devices are in the mix, which means combined with iOS Apple hits 22% for Darwin, which is far higher then they ever were in their dark ages. On general purpose computers MacOS is at 14%, which is also far higher than they had then.

Remind me: Has the federal or state governments been seeking to ban one kind of automobile to support the purchase of their favored, petroleum burning ones?

When cars started becoming a thing banning horses and horse-and-buggy or wagon setups on major roads also started to, these days the use of horses on public roads is significantly restricted, especially in urban areas, for obvious reasons.

Where are all the grants to build gasoline stations throughout the country to meet the unmet demand for them?

Well, I live in an apartment and the power company was allowed by the owners to install these - literally minutes before this story posted (with threats that if you don't they'll consider it a least violation, naturally), and it is this brand.

Mine is not connected to my network and I've already reconfigured their "Comfort settings" to just be the one temperature I like on hot or cold.

The guy from the power company was of course all "you can control it with an app" and all that and enroll it in our program and save $20/mo on your power bill (but we are allowed up to 10 times to just change the temperature whenever we want).

Fuck that shit.

I somehow doubt your power company is installing the 16 year old model being deprecated...
