Just A New Fractal Detail In The Big Picture (2015)

I think the article is missing the point of what AI will do by eliminating jobs like transportation and fast food preparation . I think once we get to that point we will have to implement basic income .

AI and basic income in the same comment. I almost forgot I was on HN for a second there.

To be fair, the urgency of figuring out whether basic income will work is largely driven by the concern that the number of available jobs will be reduced due to AI (or automation in general). Reduced job availability is about the only legitimate current concern (sub 30 years) of present day AI advances.

It makes sense they are discussed in the same comment to an article about whether we have dealt with the influence of the equivalent of AI for thousands of years through efficiency and specialization.

A Haskell mention would've completed the HN trifecta.

Show HN: A Haskell.js webapp to compute basic income levels under different hypothetical AI rapture scenarios

And an honourable mention for Georgist land taxation.

I think Phoenix/Elixir has dethroned Haskell.

Or Go or Rust.

But Phoenix/Elixir does seem to be the new thing. Not that I mind, always happy for the Erlang platform to get more attention.

Classic HN: Trying to capture the depth of topics like Basic Income and AI by sprinkling them over two sentences.

Kidding :)
