Yeah, I&#x27;d like to hear more AI people (or anyone really) talk about practical solutions. AI will not enslave us or give us utopia; we will have enslaved ourselves with cameras and phone lines long before an AI has a chance to. Or utopia.<p>Large swaths of the population unemployable though... That&#x27;s a real issue.<p>A living wage is the only good solution I can think of. Alternatively, pay people to dig and fill holes, but it&#x27;s expensive and kind of pointless to make up unskilled jobs for people to do.<p>I do wonder how much a living wage would cost in the US though. Shift some money from defense? There&#x27;s a good job for AI: balance a budget based on pre-defined policy goals.
