Isnt the whole point of capitalism that there has to be workers to buy the products, or it fails? Because think of this scenario Walmart fires all employees, replaces cashiers with automated machines, truck drivers with self-driving trucks, logistics and manufacturing and agricultural and processing with robotics. Then who do they sell the products to? Because the employees who used to work for them no longer have income and thus purchasing power. If this occurs in most companies and businesses, then wouldn’t that business just be getting rid of their own customer base? It’s the tragedy of the commons! and in this case, if companies know this future exists, then won’t the companies advocate for banning AI since it’s going to get rid of income for a lot of people who will buy their products and services?? submitted by /u/Happy-Radish-317
