    It’s actually the opposite. The more we can automate and the more we produce with the same time and effort input, the less we earn and the more we have to work. Which has been happening for a long time, and is why anyone thinking that AI would help anyone other than billionaires is a dummy.

        I mean, yes? In the USSR there was a total inflation of 0% between 1950 and 1985, and in that time salaries grew at a steady rate about 200%, thereby tripling purchase power, as working hours got progressively reduced.
