Not only that, but with the increasingly credible threat of automation looming, I don't think we should be looking to traditional economic wisdom for advice about labor shortages.

If we run out of resources, the rich will taste good.

Automation considered a threat is sad. What fucked up world we live in.

It has to be deprivatised if it's going to be a positive for humanity, otherwise it's just another upward wealth transfer.

Yep. Basically we already have answer to question "what if we had replicator?" and it is "DMCA". Technology is not enough for society to be better.

Our modern rich think that with enough technology they can insulate themselves from our power entirely. The way I see it we either prove them wrong, or die.

Automation (eliminating work) only is a problem (eliminating jobs) in our shitty economic system.

The economic system (capitalism) only values AI for its ability to create problems for us (poor people)
