Automation was eating into #labor since the 1800s.
#luddites had a go, but were smashed.
But as long as it was steam shovels and the victims were labourers, the upper classes did not have any problems replacing #labour with the machines...
... Even when specific #AI like spreadsheets and Decision support Systems were pushing folks out of jobs over the last ~30 years, everything was peachy.
But now that AI is going after white collar jobs, and we are going to see 80% unemployment, everyone suddenly is developing morality.
There were few of us, myself included warning of this as late as 3 years ago, and the folks who are posting memes now,were laughing at the #AiThreat
TLDR; #capitalism was replacing labour with machines for the last 225 years but there was little of class solidarity...
.. Now the machines are coming for us and there is no labor masses to help us.
Good Idea: Rethink tax systems for automation
As AI and automation reshape industries, concerns arise about reduced tax revenues due to workforce declines. Nobel laureates, economists, and tech leaders like Bill Gates propose solutions ranging from taxing robots to adjusting capital gains taxes. While AI promises economic growth, experts warn of mixed outcomes: job displacement, inequality, and environmental impact. The debate highlights the need for governments to adapt tax systems to ensure fairness, sustain public services, and foster innovation without stifling productivity.

Before AI: 1 senior + 3 juniors = full team
After AI: 1 senior + AI = same output
We are creating #experts without #apprentices mentors without students. The professional ladder is losing its lowest rungs.

I created a draft plan to Tax AI.
No need to make it complicated, Tax ALL REVENUE, then REBATE for LOCAL WAGES PAID. This will tax non-labor revenue more than labor Revenue.
If you want to help, visit GitHub, comment, raise issues, or submit a patch.
Tax things, not People.
