Fate of technologically obsolete humans
Sunday, May 8, 2016 12:57
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The most likely mid-term scenario is the paying of a “basic income” to everyone, to support consumption, and turn production and distribution over to machines. It would have to be paid for by nationalizing dividends and capital gains. But from the standpoint of the still competitive machines, that would be a cost that they would compete to reduce, resulting in them becoming worthless. Remaining consumption, as well as production and distribution, would be done by machines, not by humans, who would descend to the status of just another form of wildlife, which the machines would not be motivated to serve or protect. No “war” with the machines. Just extinction by (not so) benign neglect.
