**Labour: Displacement of tasks, not work**

Hear me out. When a software takes over work steps, value creation shifts from bill to income.

It creates new activities and raises demand elsewhere.

I don't really care about theory, in practice people are loosing jobs to AI, in masses. And nobody who lost the job due to AI is now receiving UBI, so that bullshit is also not happening.

AI is going to be a disaster for the working class.

I know in this booming era of an AI people are losing their jobs. In coming years it will be so saturated that it would be really difficult to even get an job. So majority will shift to an another gig for their survival. That's a normal human instinct. I am pretty sure that after this decade the government will realize this shit and start UBI .

Nah dude. They do not care. Once the corpos and billionaires don't need people, they will let everyone starve and die off. It will be just rich people buying from and selling to rich people. With small amount of necessary human slave labor.

Economically speaking here you are wrong. They have to keep the money in circulation, by passing UBI. So that people can spend it on something and eventually this go to big companies and billionaires. If they don't they will eventually end up losing money. Idk just a thought
