If the cost of labor drops to zero, pretty much everything is going to zero eventually.  

I never had you figured for a Labor Theory of Value guy.

I think Adam Smith was correct.

Can you imagine what Marx would think of AI?

@larsiu to be clear I personally don't think that's going to happen.  I'm just explaining why turning over 50% of AI to the government is a bad idea.

I too am leary of our federal government in its current form. However, many nations treat their natural resources as sovereign wealth. Maybe that's the route AI goes. 

 

Or you just buy a robot (a tool) and make what you personally need.  Or you provide a service to the market and purchase the goods and services you need/want.  Sort of like what we do now.  

 

What job am I doing to earn wages to buy a robot? 

What service am I providing to purchase goods and services from said market? 

Again, AI isn't going to eradicate an industry from whose ashes rises a phoenix. It's going to eradicate people from a variety of industries. That's the rub.
