Indeed. The thing is that we have enough productivity that most people could luve on their present level witt 10-20h of work per week. The reason most work more are inefficience, make-work, bureaucrats wanting as many subordinates as possible and the like. While "AI" cannot do real work, it can help indentifying all that wasted time. And without a reform that reduces worked hour per person, many people will be out of work, while other will continue to work much more than needed.

Full employment is a thing of the past, unless work-time per week is drastically decreased. And it should be.

Comment Re: Not the scientists' fault (Score 1) 118

We have a situation where scientists predict disastrous outcomes for the planet and they warn the public. They are honest and acting in good faith.

Because these warnings threaten the business model of some very large multinationals, these companies invest billions into lobbying and spreading lies, knowing full well what they are doing. It works because the companies successfully appeal to the ignorant and greedy.

And your conclusion is that the culpable party is the scientists, for their rhetorical failures?
