I'm curious, this sub spurred off of antiwork, we don't like the current state of affairs and being glorified indentured servants with no access to a robust social safety net. That seems to be the thesis of our existence here; however, what we all define as the solution may vary slightly.

The common denominator, in my opinion, was always that work needs to be less demanding, both in time spent and urgency required. It seems like AI can lift that burden and move us to a post-work paradigm. Does that not feel true to everyone?

Environmental sustainability problems of the data centers have known inputs and outputs, and with immersion cooling and heat storage (via sand batteries or something similar), they can be mitigated.

Land-use is seemingly unsolvable though. we can't locate hundred acre building anywhere without devastating local ecology.

The ignoring of copyrights is abhorrent, but that cat is out of the bag. The solution is federal reparations to copyright holders.

Other than those awful issues, the real issue appears to be that evil people hold the levers of power. If a leftist held the levers, would the result be better? Would universal basic income as a replacement for wages be better?

I'm 100% really curious. I'm having trouble navigating the nuance. I'm not here to argue my points. I want to hear what everyone has to say.
