A recent Reddit post is sparking debate about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the job market. The user suggests that widespread AI automation could render traditional employment models obsolete within the next five years. This scenario, the post argues, would necessitate the implementation of a universal basic income to support those displaced by machines. The discussion also touches upon the more theoretical, but increasingly relevant, possibility of AI self-management and self-repair, raising concerns about a potential technological singularity and its long-term consequences for humanity. The original post and the ensuing discussion on Reddit explore the complex societal and economic implications of accelerating AI development.
