I love these discussions. :) It's interesting to me how much of a connection there is between the morality of A.I., universal basic income because of automation, and potential deeper truths concerning the nature of our reality (simulation hypothesis, holographic universe, etc). I just finished reading Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence book and highly recommend it.
If we are living in a simulation, let's live lives interesting enough to keep the simulation running, shall we?
