What does a potential real near-future society look like with over 30% of workers no longer having work because AI does it, while some specific jobs still remain essential? (lemmy.world)

I dont think 30% of people will be without work. But in the future if thats the case I think we'll see a reduction of work hours from 40 to 30. A reduction in quality of life, less pay more money taken up by the essentials, government increasing taxes and using that to create work via infrastructure projects and expansion of bureaucracy.

Maybe an increase in local markets, selling services and fresh goods.

Maybe an increase in war as the contention for resources becomes to great.

Pretty bleak stuff.
