It never ceases to amaze me how people who have no clue what they’re talking about, can pass fiction off as fact.

[fintamaria]

I think that taxing these Corporations, exactly as if they had employees, would be the most correct!

[AG-ovlf]

If all companies decide to automatise their production, who will buy the products, which were made by automated machines, if people don’t have job?
People do not care about people, but money, forgetting that income comes from people.

[prsona]

So many deluded people. New jobs aren't gonna be created when replaced by ai. Wake up.

[JDesq]

On the one hand we are warned about AI & robots replacing people on the job front, on the other hand we are being warned about declining birth & population rates.🤔
Is it just me or is that the ideal scenario, one or the other will likely overlap but in a world with finite resources that seems to be the right direction to be heading . What we do need is a better way to distribute wealth more evenly instead of our current system, from the bottom up to the 1% with infinite (GDP) growth because that isn't sustainable !

[lifetheuniverse]

A large bottleneck is the energy supply. There isn’t sufficient resources for a fully automatic economy...

[Theo-eqei]

So much productivity is lost in Lagos traffic

[Indrid__Cold]

The idea that a truck driver is going to be trained to do another job that replaces his/her income even at a 50% level is absurd. Dangerously absurd.

“When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure, ” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. “

[walkerhaw]

Tomorrow is utterly grim. 2024 is the new 1929.

[El-upri]

We can't even get the two astronauts back to earth let alone travel the universe. Create jobs. That's the perfect AI.

[luxushauseragency]

The prevailing mindset in the pharmaceutical industry prioritizes profit over progress. Instead of capitalizing on advancements in medical science to reduce our dependence on drugs, there's a greater focus on developing new therapies to maintain consumer reliance. With this short-sighted approach, our young species risks a precarious future on a planet that's survived for millions of years.

[franklinmachin]

I'm not sure if I got this right. State department and foreign policy? Is this some how why we have the conflicts that are happening around the world?

[Indrid__Cold]

China needs to face the fact that economically, its going back to the early 90s.

[jjhatnm]

Would love to hear an updated version of this.

[xivr]

future economy that full of debt and food deficiency

[scottbracha]

There talking in the end it'll be a paradise. However what there not saying is humans have always been explorers. We almost live for growth. A utopia your confined to may not be a paradise. Prisoners have a lot less life problems to worry about too. But you ever see a happy prisoner. Lol

[fabiodeoliveiraribeiro]

This video begins by talking about an economy without humans in which productivity is infinitely amplified by the intensive and growing use of robots and artificial intelligence. It then explores the problems of cities where jobs will be destroyed. And it ends by demanding greater equalization in gender relations in a labor market that has already begun to be affected by the fourth industrial revolution and will obviously be extinguished. The schizophrenia of the script seems obvious to me. It is not possible to dehumanize the economy and, at the same time, humanize labor relations that will cease to exist. The bright future of the fourth industrial revolution is being seen in the government of Javier Milei in Argentina, a country in which tens of millions of people have been thrown into poverty and are now being encouraged to sell their children or sell their own organs in order to continue eating. Will the future be the industrialization of human flesh to feed a growing army of useless people? When I was a child, Soylent Green was just a science fiction movie. But judging by the content of this video, it is becoming more and more reality, because the factual truth continues to be hidden by a schizophrenic script. In an extremely profitable dehumanized economy characterized by the optimized accumulation of private wealth guaranteed by hollowed-out States in which there is no place for the interests of ordinary human beings (the majority of the population), the result can only be an endless humanitarian tragedy.

The Economy of Tomorrow - "No matter how highly mechanised and self-powered, fossil fuels extraction requires a number of people as if the process is executed by hands using buckets and ropes - by physics".
Today, this number is 8 billion people - working flat out 24/7 - strong.
Humans were not ready morally, ethically and intellectually to start the mass extraction of fossil fuels with the advent of the steam engine 300 years ago.
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future" (2017).
