    I agree op. We automate everything, pay a UBI, and let people enjoy the arts.
    However it would probably get exploited sadly

    Don’t we need a little suffering for good art to be produced?

    morale jobs are there to stop us from personal and spiritual growth

    Elon Musk also thought car tunnels were better than public transportation so tread carefully

    i’m on a mission to automate my whole life i already don’t have to turn on or off my lights myself. don’t even have to build a youtube playlist myself, my script does it for me

    don’t even have to read the news or check the weather myself, i have a script for that too that reads that to me every morning when i enter my office

    my goal is to be that far human guy from wall e

    I’ve been trynna to do the automated YT playlist & news. How’d u do it?

    python!

    for my youtube playlist creator i use the selenium package with python and essentially automate my browser with it

    in the code, i specify which channels to add videos from on my feed. it checks if the video is watched (by searching for the element that displays how much of a video you watched), if the video doesn’t have that, it adds it to the playlist, else, it skips over it

    for my news / weather stuff, i use a weather and news package python has (can’t remember the names at the moment), and i basically code to that and then use a text to speech package to read the string from the script. i also added a “fact of the day” where i use requests and beautifulsoup4 and scrape a “fact of the day website” lol

    thats the simple simple simple version, i planned on making a thread about all the automation i’ve done so far, i have it saved in my notes just haven’t posted it yet lol. i probably will soon with more details!

    that’s the dream right there! Waking up with a curated system. Thanks for the info and I’m definitely in on the thread!

    Eh, I don’t think corporations are intentionally doing it for those reasons

    of course not, but I may believe the idea of working 8 hours a day comes with that purpose on package
