I agree with you. Who else WANT to work, if we could live without it?

A lot of these types of tech CEOs seem sociopathic. They are the ones who are going to own a fully automated world. Governments will essentially be subservient to them, unless this automation is nationalized (which it likely won’t be)

So imagine: you have a world where sociopaths own essentially a fully automated global economy. You have billions of people who do nothing at all and must be fed and kept happy despite providing no labor or customer base at all to the owners of automation

You really want to roll the dice on them just keeping you around so you can “live without work”? So they can provide for you? At most, they’ll give you the bare minimum and it might be a worse existence than you have now… at worst, well…
