Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea::"A society where you only have to work three days a week, that's probably OK," Bill Gates said.

A 3-day work week would give rise to doing 2 non-concurrent jobs, or a six day work week.

I mean, I could see the benefits - don't like one of your jobs? Quit one, it isn't loosing your whole paycheck. Of course, there are weird structural problems like getting scheduled for those 3 days and random times throughout the week making it really a 7-day job with only 3-days of work, and the whole "you can only work 19.95 hrs and if you work more, then we are required to give you health insurance, so you can't work more than that."

Until machines get real AI and humanity get fucked up. 🤣🤣

Real talking: I believe what the majority of people need are better payment and wealth redistribution.

When I was a child I envisioned fully automated luxury communism driven by robots and AI.

Realizing that wouldn't happen for the dumbest possible reasons as a teen/young adult was immeasurably disappointing
