Could AI create a ‘permanent underclass’?

There already is a permanent underclass. Do poor people by and large claw their way out? No.
The point is a complete and utter removal of social mobility
Yeah I just think that was already complete before AI as much as it can
It’s just widening the gap a bit more. It also widens the gap between the 0.1% and the 1%.
Yeah, poverty has been a form of control for very long time.
Yes, yes they do. My parents couldn’t afford coffee when I was born. My dad was able to buy a $600K home in the early 2000s that’s worth double today.
Replying to @iopq@lemmy.world
As a guy who clawed my way out of poverty, I can warn you: People who state those opinions on the Internet almost never want to hear about a success story — even if it could help others. (Not that downvotes even matter though)
That’s not an opinion, it’s an anecdote. Even if it were true, it does not contradict the first guy’s claim that “by and large” poor people do not leave poverty.
Much like the underclass of those of us who cant afford to read the article.
They mean capitalism.
capitalism has more social mobility than feudalism
No. But the gutting of public education will.
I got banned from Twitter (good riddance anyway) for saying that data centers are an excuse to take comtrol of computer from the masses
So…yes?
Lol you don’t need AI for that, but it’s doing its part right now with the bubble.
Actually effective AI paired with robotics would eliminate the need for a large underclass.
And you might note the glorification of mass slaughter the past few years.
Like one hasn’t existed for thousands of years??
