The AI/automation story is premised on the assumption that there is too much work, and that there is money to be made from automating that work away.
It turns out though to create the problem of there being not enough work. Who coulda guessed?
Ok this was deliberately naive. Of course most of the “too much work” view comes from Capital viewing work as an operational cost to be minimized.
The idea that automation reduces drudgery turns out to be an illusion (either purposeful or not) - in fact what *produces* drudgery is the automation mindset itself
