That’s a problem with unchecked capitalism, not AI. Remember how George Jetson was able to have a house in the sky, a suitcase spaceship, full home automation, a robot maid, and supported his whole family by pushing a button? Consider how many people lived and worked on the ground beneath the cloud cover to make that possible.

Remember how he also only worked 3 days a week, and had job security even though he was fired every episode?

George Jetson had a very good union.

The Jetsons were the 1% and the Flintstones were the rest.

They were the Elysium space station people

There were no people down there. It was just a flooded planet

They had an episode on the ground I thought.

What we thought was the ground, could perfectly be a bigger platform for the buildings

Sure why not.

Capitalism cannot ever be sufficiently checked while remaining Capitalism. Wage Labor and Capital does a good job of explaining why.
