AI now lives in your home and eats your food, too. Problem solved.

Dont starve together is a beloved game.

We should.

investing now on polymarket

👍🏻

OP sounds like an insufferable shill spouting "they are just looking for the criminals and illegals" while everyone is being lined up at gunpoint outside of the gas chambers of the concentration camp.

oh feel free to fill me in instead of just being snarky

I do this every day. I work a lot less and get more done.

not even a neo-luddite. a good old fashioned luddite

My guy, if the AI did all the jobs, what are the people supposed to do?

I mean, it'd be amazing for a socialist society, but under capitalism it straight up sucks

This is a good point, and it's often much longer workhours. People used to have to stop when it got dark, because candles and oil lamps were too expensive, but not with electric lights. Mules refuse to work more than about six hours a day, but trucks will keep going as long as you refuel them.

That presumes educational, physical, finances aren't obstacles.

can get a lawnmower for a few hours of work

Not everyone has such a magical job.

but at least they can spend more time with their family, outdoors, at the homeless camp.

ended more wholesome than I thought.

what I thought,

but at least they can spend more time with their family, outdoors, in the mass grave after starving to death.

Because they still need to earn money for housing, food, medicine, etc.

If we lived in a world where machine productivity was used to meet everyone's basic needs, they would be saying that. But we don't. So machines doing more jobs doesn't free us from work, it just makes finding work more difficult.

That's because we haven't updated our system to work with AI

AI should in theory automate the mundane so we can focus on art, instead it's being used to automate the art to avoid having to pay for it.

When AI replaces jobs, we don't celebrate not having to do the job because we only have our essentials covered when we work. We have a system that socializes the losses and privatizes the profits.

If we have Universal Basic Income, so we all got paid when AI does labor, people would be able to enjoy their lives free of stress. Unfortunately we live in a society laugh track where socialism is seen as a negative thing, as a way of rewarding the lazy at the expense of the hard working (When really that's what capitalism does)

Unless this perception of socialism can be changed, we will never get Universal Basic Income or Single Payer Healthcare

Tbh scythes are pretty fun to use.

I think you forgot about money and greed.

In olden times before washing machines people were expected to change into clean (washed) underclothes daily, and an apron got washed when dirty, but their main clothing went a long time between cleanings. Even longer than the clothes on the chair, like months.

Similarly, expectations of manicured pool-table lawns with the advent of lawnmowers.

Better stoves/ovens I'll totally grant you. I have enough trouble adjusting from my old "runs hot" oven to my new "runs cold" oven, I can't imagine trying to bake a cake in a wood or coal oven.

And the horse that preceded the bicycle took more maintenance, not less.

Because it turns out the capabilities are nowhere near what was promised, and the “AI” isn’t doing anyone’s jobs.

You can't afford to.

It’s just a tool, another piece of technology to increase efficiency with some liability.

But if such advances aren’t leading to quality of life advances for workers, that’s a societal issue sucking all the gained efficiency away, like how software uses more and more processing to do the same things as computers get faster.

It means the system is fucked up.

That will only happen if universal basic income is implemented. Currently, the worry is nobody will be able to afford to live

The thing i find most insufferable is your hyperbole.

Spend time with their family... like in the op

Nah

So my question goes unanswered, cool.

Until there is a democratized and efficient method of converting energy to matter which would eliminate hunger and homelessness, living will cost money. If that reality is problematic for you then by all means please try to change it.

I’d just like to not have my family starve after our finances dry up, while I’m spending so much time with them now.

Sounds like someone hasn't been on facebook in the last 4 years. AI posts nonsense, other AIs boost the nonsense.

Dont moralize my freedom

Your response answers the question. There will always be work to do.

Its just not the work youre doing.

That’s not it’s purpose. It’s purpose is to generate revenue for its owner. And to bastardize human culture. Nothing more.

US system is one of oligarchist and geopolitical supremacism. Under that system, there is no room for crumbs to trickle down to citizenry, and more free time, and easier survivability, would be crumbs that reduce your manufactured hatred towards your fellow man.

The principle of comparative advantage and market access to the most options is not evil. Championing labour supremacism may be a lesser evil than fascist oligarchist militarism of technology, but it's still a distortion that harms everyone who doesn't directly benefit from any follow through on the championing. Unions today cooperate with the oligarchy in order to make life shit for non union members, and their goal is primarily to protect membership jobs more than expanding membership.

Categorically dysfunctional corrupt politics when championing power supremacism of any group as a bandaid for oligarchist, militarist supremacism.

The only solution to achieving your headline is UBI, where whoever is profiting in society pays taxes to give people choice/freedom over their time, including pursuing richness and paying more taxes in the process. UBI is redistribution of power. Not so much wealth. https://naturalfinance.blogspot.com/2026/09/a-global-prosperity-manifesto.html

That's your purpose.

Im in

You're an imbecile. Shut up

It turns out automating art and writing is a lot easier than automating robotics.

Imagine you’re rich. You’re investing in AI, in robots. You’re not investing in people. Imagine a world without people, but machines that serve without complaining or expecting anything in return.

The rich are dangerous right now.

sounds beautiful, what's the catch?

You literally said "Ok, we will just do jobs as a function of being alive forever. Glad its settled." as if that somehow was an argument against my original point. You didn't address my original point. And now you're saying "There will always be work to do."

Seems you're arguing with yourself. So I'll bow out and let you get to it. I regret replying to this inane thread. Have fun.

The catch is that you won't be one of the few people that are still around.

but I was imagining I was rich in the other comment.

All things that save time at home, not at work.

That would require that it come with UBI, which... seems doubtful at best...

Ive been poor my whole life so I'm fairly certain it's almost my turn to be a billionaire.

I don't even think UBI is a solution. It's basically a cast system with extra steps. What we need is violent nationalization of any company with more than a handful of employees. We won't get what we need though.

You’re not rich.

Do people not do laundry for work? Mow lawns? Drive? Anything you could use for personal use can also help with work… what about a restaurant? No washing machines there apparently….

Do you have any specific examples that are solely “home saving” pieces of technology? Or do other peoples jobs not exist past your desk?
