@SteveMatthews12 @Citrini7 I'm looking forward to the government starting mass universal basic income and letting the robots and AI do everything, personally
English
Now that @Citrini7 has written how AI could in one scenario destroy a lot of white-collar, middle class jobs, I’m looking forward to Part 2 that will be equally scary on how humanoid robots will destroy a huge number of blue-collar, middle class jobs. That’s equally as likely.
