it's "what if we didn't pay people" but different techies put emphasis on different words

ok, that makes sense... how will people pay for those goods and services though if every job is being done by AI?

Any chance he is just advocating socialism a la Wall-E where we all just enjoy hobbies and rest and joy the fruits of the machines' labor?

I guess the whole, but "you still need pennies" is the giveaway...

I'm all in for the Wall-E utopia. I love screen time and hate interacting in real life. One note: still want real snacks, not just nourishment by beverage.

And all those people displaced by AI won’t have “mere pennies”.. so all the productivity is wasted building things nobody can buy. Smart!
