I know the front page has but not rising <| sep |> I ' m on chromium and I ' ve never seen an ad on twitch <| sep |> I still see a role for people ' s desires , hopes and motivations directing AI and robots if not , then there really is no point to automation or work in the first place . And roles involving this work will be the occupations that people have . They will be needed to direct the AI . There is no theoretical limit to the number of jobs that can exist in order to provide this function . Ok , I ' m willing to grant that there may be a few hundred or even a few thousand jobs for people offworld , but I fully expect that by the time we ' re ramping up people ' s presence beyond Earth , all or almost all work will be automated , and jobs or at least what we consider to be jobs today won ' t really exist . I think you ' re overestimating how much can be done by automation , and underestimating the number of humans that will be needed . I also think you ' re underestimating how much more complex the economy of the future will be . Yes , AI may be able to eliminate most of the jobs that exist in the economy as it exists today . But the economy that exists in the future will be far more complex , and therefore , even with a vastly greater percentage of tasks automated , a huge number of humans will be needed . The problem with this view is that rights do not exist in some sort of objective way , they are reflective of human thought and the social , economic forces on them . Yes , you ' re right , they exist subjectively , but we can still promote our subjective view of what rights are . Just as we would oppose laws that enslave people , we should oppose laws that use authoritarian force to compel a person to hand over a share of the currency they receive in private trade .
