Fully Automated Luxury Communism

  • ‘her country becoming the workshop of the world’ - but robots taking her job soon? trade unionists say pay is dwindling because of cheap labour overseas and new factories in America
  • Obama ratified the right of US companies to make profits in space
  • private space previously reliant on government contract and private industrialists
  • ever-cheaper cameras with better and better resolution allows us all deep access
  • asteroid mining, oversupply of minerals, plummeting prices
  • AI changing many’s views on value, work and capitalism. But not necessarily in a useful direction
  • ‘fair labour market’ already a myth and further so now AI writes both job postings and job applications
  • automated production - warehousing - distribution - sale - aftersale, we aren’t that far from it!
