    Once AI can replace a good portion of the work force, we’ll get a universal basic income enough to pay all the bills right? We won’t be jobless and broke?

        The good news is that kids will have plenty of employment opportunity when AI takes over, you need tiny hands to clean between those server racks.

      We’ll be broke and on the streets, where they’ll arrest us for being unhoused, and commit us to prisons to complete whatever physical labor the robots can’t yet.

      Sorry, bit less rosy I know - But it’s for the good of the shareholders.

        Also the shareholders are robots, since it turns out they are much better at stock trading than people.

      Depends if you can obtain an automated military before the billionaires use their on you.

      (And, of course, “obtain” is not a synonymous of “buy”.)
