Robots Doing Burritos: Welcome to Your Jobless Future

So, here we are in 2024, and Andrew Yang's robot apocalypse doesn't seem so crazy anymore. AI went from a joke to an omnipotent force, thanks to the likes of ChatGPT and other tech marvels. Elon Musk is selling "Universal High Income" (UHI), promising a utopia where work is optional, and robots do all the heavy lifting. But hold up, who’s going to make sure the wealth from our robot overlords trickles down to the average Joe? Just because Elon says it, doesn't mean it’s a done deal. We already have enough resources to end poverty, but look around—how’s that going? In the end, the big tech dream sounds more like a dystopian sci-fi movie than a real plan for our future.

AI is taking over jobs, rewriting capitalism, and redefining human purpose.

AI is revolutionizing the workforce, automating tasks, and creating a future where work as we know it becomes obsolete. Tech visionaries like Andrew Yang foresaw this AI job apocalypse years ago, and now it's unfolding before our eyes. With AI like ChatGPT performing complex tasks, the threat to human employment is real. Elon Musk's concept of Universal High Income may sound utopian, but it raises questions about meaning and purpose in a world where robots dominate. To ensure equity and justice, we must advocate for progressive policies like Universal Basic Income and robust social safety nets to protect marginalized communities from being left behind in this new AI-driven economy​​.
