RE: RE: The Age Of Abundance: Quasi-Infinite Economy

When I was a directory assistance operator our union called a strike. When it was over, management let me listen to a prototype of an AI operator, and lemme tell ya, that thing was almost, but not quite, ready to replace a human.

It got me to thinking what would happen as this technology spreads throughout the workplace and to the now hapless human replacees?

What will people do with all that free time?

UBI maybe? And if so, that would unlock a burst of creativity from human minds now freed from the drudgery of daily labor and able to devote themselves to activities that might benefit society. We'll see.
