Colorful illustration of a nonbinary Indigenous person in front of the US capitol building. They have a shaved hear, black jeans, and a leather jacket and boots in shades of yellow. A red handprint is painted over their mouth as they crouch in front of a bow of burning sage. The smoke from the sage wafts over the outlines of the capitol building that are drawn in white over a purple and pink background.

i am so sick of the presumption (delusion?) that corporations and our government will suddenly be compassionate to the working class and provide UBI when AI takes your job. it is a fantasy.

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

Liberalism of the kind you're espousing, and the kind that user-driven moderation evangelists seem to subscribe to, misses this fundamental fact.
