Disney sues Midjourney

And Star Trek, yes.

Star Trek still has labor, they just have way less of it since they have replicators. They even have an episode about why allowing companies to steal intellectual property is bad!

let me ask you this, do you plan to keep working till you die? Or would you rather retire and work on RPG related stuff? If you had an actual choice that is.

I never had a dream job growing up, I never wanted to be anything in particular.

What does that have to do with allowing AI companies to steal intellectual property?

No, I do not intend to work forever, I hope to have enough money to retire, at which point my labour has earned me the freedom to do what I wish after spending the majority of my life working, and paying taxes to support those who cannot.

Then I'll take care of my home, still contributing to the economy ($$$) hanging out with my wife, and yes, playing around with Elf Games.

Then we're going to be waiting a LONG time, because people's resistance to automation is the main thibg holding a post-scarcity society back

How about instead we go on replacing jobs with machines until society finally admits that human labor is obsolete and stops demanding it

Do you have ANY evidence for your claims?

If people want to believe in some hilarous utiopia where somehow....people are just hauling rocks for fun? Extracting minerals/ore for fun?

People? Our whole point is that it could all be done by machines. Maybe not immediately, but soon.

Ah, so the robots, which robots build, haul the rocks for us which are purchased for...and by....?

Remember, the Luddites starved.

All I know is that there's faulty logical shortcut being taken by people here.

It is incorrect to say that people need jobs or even that they need money. What they need is the things that they get with the money they get from their jobs. The jobs and the money are ultimately incidental; they are just the means that happens to be dominant in our current society.

I mean no actually, that isnt how it works in reality. Most of us DO have to have a job, so why not have it be our 'dream job'.

That is unrealistically utopian

That is unrealistically utopian

Granted, it's hopeful but I know people who have their dream job.

Not me, but hey I haven't been replaced yet and nobody else will pay me enough.

 

[Umbran]

That is unrealistically utopian

And that people will just be given what they need by those who made the robots isn't?

 

[trappedslider]

Don't discount the concept of personal growth and acceptance of being wrong, either.

I only know one person who has what he would consider his dream job and i'm 90% sure he'd do it even if he didn't need to do it due to the nature of the job.

 

[Umbran]

so you sit and dream of doing a JOB all day and all your life, and not a hobby or something you love doing?

Please don't make this personal.
