Mass depopulation.

75% of us will be poor earning "basic income." The other 25% who are working will be living in gated communities and watch the poor kill each other on the news.

originally the idea of humans not having to work was a noble one, the population could enjoy their pastimes and would have food and money without slaving away for it. however, what's happening is that these savings won't be passed down, and only the elite will benefit.

Shorter work weeks. Lower cost of living by building smaller houses. Closely linked small communities that barter between each other and lots and lots of hobby farming. Good food, good people all with a strong feeling of self worth and music and dancing.

Food prices drop as self replicating machines can now plant, water, pollinate, weed, and harvest the crops cheaper than any human workforce could. Housing costs drop as self replicating machines can 3D print multistory structures. Humans are left to create music, art, and fornicate mostly for pleasure. The trick is accomplishing this while keeping free speech, privacy, and free ideas in what would be a world where every move was monitored by self replicating machines that are all around us every moment of our lives.

Seal their asses in there with tons of rocks and concrete. Have fun in the sun while the mole people are forced to eat one another while they count their money underground.

This would be great if I could just have a farm and grow my own food and be left alone with my wife and kids. I don't think that is going to happen though.

governments can form new jobs, we should be having humans going through forests and taking out dried stuff on the ground that makes it susceptible to forest fires. we should be having more fish hatcheries to resupply the oceans with fish. we should have humans working on creating devices that reduce the acidity of the ocean, to take carbon out of the air, and we should be working on all types of similar environmental aids. the unemployed could be the federal employed, and their work is to benefit the infrastructure on which other businesses are built. we should be working to make the world a better place for everyone, there is no economic demand to do so, so have the government do it.

we also need more teachers and scientists. why have one teacher for 30 students? why not have 1 teacher per 6 students? why not have more scientists working on theories, have more people replicating scientific studies to make sure they aren't bullshit? we need more peers for the peer review process, we need more people with more ideas so that further innovation is faster. we need people working on solutions to big problems, like terraforming new worlds, and exploiting resources outside of earth.

we also need less people. perhaps we can figure out some eugenics method that would allow for population decline in a fashion that is acceptable to the masses. we should be trying to improve the human race as a whole, and we need to start prepping some of our people to be able to survive and thrive in a low gravity environment so they can ride ships to new stars and new planets.

capitalism is being killed, not employment. there is always things that need to be done.

Next is Soylent green, of course.

Global communism I assume? With no one being needed all humans are reverted back to equally useless, but since their still there the resources will have to be shared equally among them.

There is ALWAYS something to do......always.....

The same thing that always happens when people get desperate- they break things and hunt monsters. Expect civilization to be broken, its wealthiest members to be hunted down, their things to be scattered as the spoils of war.

The era of most humans being employed is a relatively recent event. We'll go back to the way it once was. Also most humans aren't employed now. It may be that they never were.

AI entities become wealthier than the wealthiest humans, and keep humans as pets
