AI Future

Elon Musk predicts that AI will advance to a point where working is optional due to cheaper goods and services, leading to the necessity of a high universal basic income by 2024. He suggests that while jobs may no longer be essential, they serve purposes beyond financial needs, such as providing purpose, identity, and connection. The main concern is whether people will face a crisis of meaning in a world where AI handles everything. Musk emphasizes that adapting to this change is crucial, questioning whether this potential future is an ideal or a looming disaster.
