People should have to work shitty service sector jobs so that I have someone to talk to. Because obviously I will never encounter other humans if they aren’t being forced to trade half their waking hours for money. What am I supposed to do, talk to people who aren’t being forced to put up with me if they don’t want to lose their income?

The “AI” being pushed on us now is trash, but if we do eventually get to the point of being able to automate away the vast majority of jobs, we ought to use that to free people from the need to work. Give us UBI, make robots do the shit that you wouldn’t do for free, and let us all have free time to do the things we actually want to do.

U all remember when you queued to buy a train ticket from a fellow behind a counter, and someone came and woke you up in the middle of the ride so they could clip it?

So high quality human interaction, I miss it so much /s

These days a security guard dressed as a cop wakes you up in the middle of the ride to scan your transit card.

Having an actual person who can help you if the ticket machine is acting up or you’re an ignorant tourist or whatever is great actually
