I genuinely believe stuff like this is a psyop to drive our young people hopelessness and inaction. Don’t believe their hype. Ideally, we’ll be on a hard money standard that enables us to capture the true value of our work, resulting in less working overall, but not zero. View quoted note →

Elon has his head in the sand about this. If you want to live hand to mouth and ask permission from the Orwellian surveillance state whenever you need to wipe your ass then sure go ahead and make work optional with Universal Basic Food Stamps! The Ai Robotics boom just means the middle class will become irrelevant. More and more people will end up homeless, imprisoned, and living on welfare. Maybe what he really means to say is that for the wealthy 1% slave masters controlling Ai Robotics, working will be optional.

And he has no idea how to transition from here with deep expectation of scarcity and thus considerable fear of not being able to get income for even basic needs to there.

We can do much better than that. We should not assume radical change in one area and everything else stays the same. But we need to overcome human evolved psychology deep expectation of scarcity. No idea how we will do that but the need is quite obvious.
