easilyscan 1,024 Posted yesterday at 04:39 AM The character on Rain Man (Raymond Babbitt) was based on an idiot savant. I could've misinterpreted it, but it sounds like Elon stated that having a job in the future won't be necessary. https://www.barchart.com/story/news/36263449/elon-musk-says-the-job-of-the-future-is-no-longer-coding-its-no-job-at-all-heres-how-investors-can-prepare Yes, Elon Musk has repeatedly stated that in the future, due to advances in AI and robotics, most people won't have to work, and jobs will become optional. Work as a Choice, Not a Necessity: Musk envisions a world where human labor is no longer required for survival. People could choose to work for personal satisfaction or as a hobby, comparing it to the current choice of buying vegetables at a store versus the more laborious task of growing them in a backyard. AI Will Handle All Goods and Services: In this scenario, AI and robots will be advanced enough to provide all the necessary goods and services for society to function without relying on human labor. Money Might Become Irrelevant: Musk has suggested that in a post-scarcity future, money might stop being relevant, though fundamental physics constraints like power and mass would still exist. Universal High Income: Instead of a universal basic income (UBI), which he has discussed in the past, he now suggests a "universal high income" would be necessary to support people in a job-free world, though he hasn't specified how such a system would work. Timeline: He has suggested this future could be 10 to 20 years away, but has also noted there is "a lot of work" to be done before society reaches that point. Challenge of Meaning: Musk acknowledges that the main challenge in such a future will be existential, focusing on how humans will find meaning and fulfillment when work is no longer a core part of life. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
