ProfD, you said in another thread:

I wasn't joking about AI putting people out of work. They will have plenty free time to do whatever they want.😁😎

I seriously doubt that will be the case for the majority of humanity and here's why......

Most of the people who will be put out of work by AI are professional and IT types.
The vast majority had to go to Universities and rack up a lot of debt to GET their credentials in the first place and most of them have student loans and other debts they have to pay back let alone support the lifestyles they and their families are used to living.

The only jobs that will be left for them will be manufacturing and service industry jobs, which leads to 2 immediate problems for them:

1. Most of these jobs DO NOT pay as well or offer as many benefits as their original corporate and IT jobs.

2. Most of these jobs are far more PHYSICALLY DEMANDING than their original corporate and IT jobs.
People used to sitting on their asses all day playing on the computer will NOT adapt so easily to scrubbing hotel toilets and using jackhammers for 10 hours a day 6 days a week just to pay the bills and pay their debts.

I predict there's going to be a lot of frustrated people and the cases of depression, substance abuse, and other mental health issues will skyrocket in the near future as a result of this massive replacement and displacement.

Right. Hopefully, the Universal Basic Income (UBI) will mitigate rampant depression, substance abuse & other reckless behavior as a result of unemployment or under-employment.

Humans are adaptable creatures. They will figure out how to survive & thrive in a world where they may no longer have to work for a living.😎

AI, being the impersonal entity that it is, will recognize that its efficiency will negatively affect a large element of the human population. It will foresee this and make the necessary adjustments, realizing that replacing people will inevitably lead to their extinction, an occurrence that could be the forerunner of AI eliminating its ownself out of existence.

It will then correct itself and revert back to square one to ensure its own survival! 🤓

Like I said in another thread.....

One of the beautiful and valuable things about being a student of both the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad AND the Honorable Neely Fuller Jr. is that you can't be fooled by the Racists....lol.

No matter what new problems come up on the scene....you can see their hand in it because you automatically and instinctively suspect THEY are behind all of the problems in this society!

This is automatic.

If the fucking MOON fell out of the sky....we'd be looking for a White man standing behind her and suspect that he's the one who shoved her out of her orbit, lol.

Universal Basic Income would be nice.

But if it's implemented it would just being another way to CONTROL Black people, make our people lazier and more docile, and stifle the spirit of independence and progress that our people need to compete with.


Further......

Unless they make UBI a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT (do you see that happening???) it's basically up to a bunch of White folks in offices deciding who gets it, who doesn't, and how much.

And you know they would attach all types of requirements and stipulations to it that if you fart too loud or hold your dick with the wrong hand while pissing...they'll accuse you of breaching the "social contract" and snatch your benefits away from you.

They'd probably also attach a lot of "fraud" charges to it so that if you lie on your UBI application they'll have an excuse to prosecute you like those PPP loans.

Humans are adaptable creatures. They will figure out how to survive & thrive in a world where they may no longer have to work for a living.

If that were the case, why are most Black people still relying on White people for jobs and healthcare?

We're human.

We're the ORIGINAL humans...lol.

If we were adaptable we would have learned how to be independent and self sufficient by now instead of making the same mistakes over and over again.

You want to see an example of animals that adapt to their environments?

Look at a deer.

They avoid mountain lions because they KNOW mountain lions are their enemies.

You don't see a wounded deer going to a mountain lion looking for help.

You don't see deer going to mountain lions for food.

They AVOID mountain lions at all costs because that's their natural enemies.

Does a nigga have as much sense as a deer?
If he does....why does he keep going back to HIS enemy for food, care, and comfort?
