This isn’t a new topic, but I came across this post and I think it highlights an interesting paradox about AI ( Superintelligence) . By automating more and more jobs, it could also weaken the very economic ecosystems that sustain it, concentrate the value it creates, and reduce the purchasing power of a significant portion of the population. The goal isn’t to slow down progress or treat AI as a universal solution, but to find a balance between automation, human work, and the distribution of its benefits. Technological progress alone does not guarantee shared social progress. How the gains are distributed and how human work is valued will be crucial. What really scares me is that I can’t seem to find answers to any of this. For those interested, the work of Daron Acemoglu , who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024, on the effects of automation and technology on employment and inequality, is more relevant than ever. https://economics.mit.edu/people/faculty/daron-acemoglu/publications submitted by /u/Upstairs-Tomorrow850
