    Once AI can replace a good portion of the work force, we’ll get a universal basic income enough to pay all the bills right? We won’t be jobless and broke?

      We’ll be broke and on the streets, where they’ll arrest us for being unhoused, and commit us to prisons to complete whatever physical labor the robots can’t yet.

      Sorry, bit less rosy I know - But it’s for the good of the shareholders.

      Depends if you can obtain an automated military before the billionaires use their on you.

      (And, of course, “obtain” is not a synonymous of “buy”.)
