Why would a tech guy look for a job in ADBE when they can vibe code open source Photoshop analog in their bedroom using Claude Cli?

Not only expect to see a "big crash", but expect to see total collapse of Capitalism with French style Revolution within 5 years. There will be blood in the streets literally not methaphorically as it should be.

We know people need to eat or else they die painfully. We also know you can buy food with money. We also know job gives money for majority of populus. We also know jobs are being eliminated completely within 5 years and then physical jobs also with robots.

So knowing this, if people have no job, no salary, no money to buy food with, they will get their food by force. It's just a logical conclusion.

And no, nobody will give you UBI, stop being naive. UBI has been depunked by economists numerous times, it just doesn't wokr mathmetically. World will transition to communism and the upper class will be simply eliminated physically as it has happened in the past.

Oh and this is a good thing btw

That's an interesting way of saying "total collapse of capitalism and built-up for bolshevik style revolution"

Your snarkiness and cynicism doesn't debunk extrapolated long term trend predictions.

No, we don't. Billions die, including you and me, but whatever is left over populates entire galaxy.

Worth it.

Define "pretty" picture. Everything free for everyone aka communism sounds amazing and tell me how it's better than what we have now with people starving and child amputees having to beg for pagpag in dumps of Manila.

> I'd rather have inequality if it means everyone can live a peaceful life

Thank God a large majority of people with ironclad convictions don't think like you.

How is not caring about things having a "value" being a nihilist? If everything is absolutely free for everyone, you see that as a bad thing?

Yes, many will suffer, many will die. The streets shall be washed in blood. All of that will happen. Immense, unbelievable suffering.

And after all that we still reach Type III and it was all worth it.

We focus on colonisation of Universe and becoming a Kardashev Type III civilisation. Literally that.

> but if everyone can do everything without any effort, it is no longer valuable.

And how is this a bad thing? Would it be good for oxygen to be valuable, or water?

What's with this fetishistic obsession with "value"? What's bad about living in a world where nothing holds any value whatsoever?

The only way to solve inequality created by concentration of AI superpowers will be extreme violence, and I'm tired of pretending that's not the case.
