You may be led to think, reading many arguments on social media, that AI (artificial intelligence) will improve the lives of humans, that AI is harmless, that AI can be regulated, that algorithms decidind for us is a good thing, that everything will be alright, and yet... we know it will not. :)
That's why we see an insistent propaganda for AI and robots on social media.
This propaganda is based on reports with scientific projections (probably built by algorithms).
Humans being replaced by robots, humans-humans interaction being replaced by humans-machines interaction, algorithms deciding for humans, chip implants, GPS, control.
That's why this insistent propaganda is related to the UBI (universal basic income). I bet the UBI was also built using algorithms. :)
UBI is not a generous offer, "free money just for being alive". "Robots take your jobs and that's a good thing, you can live without working, do whatever you wish, you don't have to earn it, it's free."
Let's decode this message and expose the culture that lies behind: It's not for a better future, it's only for profit. It's the same old megalomania of money and power.
First, define "free money". I have a good definition.
Free money = tax evasion money, money from undeserved benefits, money given by governments to the big banks and big corporations that destroy economies, illegal business money, etc.
Just try to calculate the billions that have been stolen from ordinary citizens.
So, UBI is not free, on the contrary, it's the price you pay for being irrelevant.
This is how the monetary economy works. It's not a transparent and fair game.
And the argument "the inevitability of progress = you can't stop the future" is not acceptable either.
There are many possibilities for the future of humans. AI and robots replacing us in all tasks and deciding for us is not the best future for humans.
We, humans, should choose our own future.
