That is some next level copium, No way will AI or robots give us more free time. It will be used to give us the boot so they dont need to pay us wages and benefits.

It could facilitate a massive change in society but that is not profitable in the short term so it won't be considered. It will be business as usual with more money for the insatiable greed of the ruling class.

This is a world economic forum sponsored post. Its not copium its propaganda by the rich owners of rental services that intend to leech of you after you give up all your posessions in favor of rental stuff.

I thought it was a satirical article first but it sadly isnt.

Right.

so they dont need to pay us wages and benefits.

Wrong. Simpler, so they feel they are better than us.

They already feel they are better, thats why we get laws for thee but not for me.
