People have often tended to think about AI and robots replacing jobs in terms of working-class jobs like driving, factories, warehouses, etc.
When it starts coming for the professional classes, as this is now starting to, I think things will be different. It's been a long-observed phenomena that many well-off sections of the population hate socialism, except when they need it - then suddenly they are all for it.
I wonder what a small army of lawyers in support of UBI could achieve?
llm are no path to socialism and being tricked into believing that a small collection of ultrarich capitalists having ownership of middle and upper class jobs in a more literal sense is somehow going to bring that about is unfortunate. It's neither here nor there, llm will never get there, but still unfortunate.
