If by “work through”, he means guillotine the billionaires who caused the job losses and redistrubute their wealth to make up for it, I’m all in.
The solution easy:
- AI/Robot tax.
- Tax the rich
- Minimum wage
- Maximum wage
I like the idea of setting maximum wage as say 50x the lowest wage. Including bonuses and stock.
I don’t think the CEO does 50x the work or even the value of the janitor.
And there’s still no theoretical cap to how much money the CEO can make, you just also have to raise the ones earning the least in order to pocket more yourself.
Radical idea. What about paying everyone the same, Janitor and CEO? That would truly value everyone’s hard work, regardless of which work it is.
But that would take a shift in how we perceive work and what we work for.
That’s socialism. Can’t have that. Can’t even have part of that. Then people want more. And you can’t exploit them anymore.
“But anybody can be a janitor!”

Yeah, just work it out. It would be a shame if we eliminated CEOs with AI. I’m sure AI could generate hot air and hubris a lot cheaper than an executive
Technology is probably not too far off from being able to have an AI CEO who doesn’t exist at all being able to fool investors into thinking they are a real person.
I mean the article says that in the first paragraph
AI isn’t just coming for entry-level workers. Google CEO Sundar Pichai says no job, not even his own, is safe.
And
Yeah, just work it out
I mean yeah, that’s what we’ve always done when there is a major technological disruption, his quote is basically: we’re humans, this is what we do
Sure, but he doesn’t actually believe that. He’s selling a product.
