Craig,
You maybe right but I doubt it. I conclude that AI, even before it is
truly AI, is a game changer and will lead to the end of our existing
economic world. I don't know how long it will take. Probably other
solutions like a shorter work week will be tried first and we don't even
know
In 2012, 30% of the US lived from paycheck to paycheck. Today, it is 40%. The
percentage of people on food stamps has never been higher. Participation in
labor markets is at a 36 year low. Job retaining usually doesn't accomplish
much as many ex-auto workers can tell you.

I have a strange idea from current ambiance and connection with indonesia...
Basic income could be connected to agrarian reform.
Usually agrarian refor don't give subsidies, but simply redistribute assets
to small actors, the farmers, who can exploit them.
if robots take all our manual jobs,
I don't like redistribution of income but there won't be any
alternative once jobs disappear.
You don't know that. People may find unique ways to solve their problems.
Pretending that things will just muddle along somehow could be

Chris, you paint a gloomy picture. The economy can turn around fairly quickly
under the right conditions and the optimists among us still see hope at least
in the long term.
In the past new industries have come along at a pace that has lead to enormous

You are all missing the point. We are transitioning from the economics of
scarce resources to unlimited resources. When you apply economic policies
designed for the allocation of scarce resources to an economy of unlimited
resources you artificially limit the pie. That is what we are doing
Brightness depends on how much light is in the visible range. What is
happening is that as the device gets hotter, a greater percentage of the
light falls in the visible range, AND, a greater total amount of radiative
energy is being emitted. Both are going on at the same time. It gets
bright
I just agree with you Randy.
Better explained than I did:)

All you need to do is to move further away from the radiator to ease the burden
