I feel like we've actually been heading in this direction for a long time. My current "work" allows me to work from home for 5 weeks out of every 6, and I use my own purchased laptop instead of the clunky terrible thing they offered me. Without a horrible commute or feeling the need to be chained to a desk, my contributions to my company feel less and less like work.
The downside is that with this increased access, people are contributing 16 hours a day, but I think that'll work itself out. Maybe that's fine as well, people will mix business, rest and pleasure throughout a 24 hour cycle and not be restrained to a 9-5.
Obviously AI will replace a lot of functions that are currently required people to "work" on, and everything else will be contributions by people. We'll probably spend more time learning and less time processing, which will be amazing.
I think I made the point on your post yesterday that 'rich' or 'poor' might be determined by what type of contributions people are interested in... dictated by supply and demand. Anyone can watch movies for a small amount of tokens but only the skilled could write a AI script for a large amount of tokens.
Very true...there are different skillsets people have.
Of course, if given some time, people might be able to learn some thing they are interested in like coding which they presently cannot do.
This is true. I think people will spend time on what has meaning to them. I like writing about stuff I research and motivate people to be positive about this blockchain since it is powerful. Others have different skills and interests. In the end, we all can contribute and should be rewarded for that...both online and offline.
