Blaming the Job-Killing Machines
In the first part of the 21st century, the world finds itself on the precipice of a profound economic and structural destabilization, all thanks to the relentless march of machine automation and machine learning, also known as AI. The unemployment rate has been impacted extremely negatively, and the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of companies that have embraced these technologies without regard for the human cost.
As the relentless onslaught of automation and AI continues, jobs that were once performed by human hands are now being handed over to soulless machines. The result? Mass unemployment, economic insecurity, and a bleak future for countless individuals and families. So, who is to blame for this impending crisis?
It's not difficult to point fingers at the companies that have eagerly replaced their workforce with machines. They argue that automation increases efficiency and reduces costs, but at what price? Workers are left without jobs, without income, and without hope. And it's not just the low-skilled jobs that are being obliterated. Even highly skilled professionals are facing the grim prospect of obsolescence as algorithms and AI systems take over complex tasks.
Profit, the only goal of true capitalists
The reasons behind this impending catastrophe are clear. Companies driven solely by profit margins have discarded their moral compass. They prioritize cost-cutting over the well-being of their employees and society at large. The reckless pursuit of automation has triggered a vicious cycle – fewer people with jobs means fewer consumers, leading to reduced demand for products and services, which in turn means more layoffs. It's a self-destructive path that, if left unchecked, will plunge our world into chaos.
As unemployment rates skyrocket, we are witnessing a disturbing rise in crime. When people have no legitimate way to make a living, they turn to desperate measures to survive. This isn't a future we should be aspiring to. The social fabric of our society is unraveling, and our communities are suffering.
In the face of this crisis, there's an urgent need for a safety net, one of the options is Universal Basic Income (UBI) and it’s a very old idea which has been tested on communities with great results in the past. UBI is a concept that involves providing all citizens with a regular, unconditional sum of money to cover their basic needs. It's a lifeline for those who have been displaced by automation and AI. UBI ensures that people can meet their essential expenses, reducing poverty, homelessness, and despair.
But UBI alone is not the magic bullet. We also need to rethink our economic and business models. The old ways of doing business, where profit maximization is the only goal, are no longer sustainable. In Web 3, a new era of the internet characterized by decentralization and blockchain technology, we have the opportunity to create more equitable business models.
Any other Planet backup plans?
In this tumultuous era where the detrimental impacts of automation and AI on employment are increasingly evident, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Enter Gratitude Token World, a forward-thinking team dedicated to developing a groundbreaking decentralized application (dApp) called BiiP.world. This innovative solution promises to come to the rescue with a fair business model that redefines how value is generated and shared within a network.
The core philosophy behind Gratitude Token World's dApp is nothing short of revolutionary. Unlike traditional profit-driven models, this visionary system operates on the principle of organic and uniform exposure and value redistribution. In simpler terms, every contribution and investment made by users within the network results in a continuous organic and equitable redistribution of value across the entire ecosystem. This ensures that the benefits are not hoarded by a select few but are shared by all participants, fostering a sense of collaboration, gratitude, and economic fairness.
Gratitude Token World's dApp represents a beacon of hope in these challenging times. As we stand at the precipice of economic and structural upheaval, this innovative approach not only mitigates the damaging effects of automation and AI but also sets a precedent for a more inclusive and equitable future. It is a testament to the transformative power of Web 3 and blockchain technology, offering a glimpse of how we can harness these tools to create a better, more prosperous world for everyone.
Web 3 allows for the development of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and token economies, where the value created is shared more equitably among all participants. Instead of concentrating wealth in the hands of a few, Web 3 enables a more inclusive and fair distribution of resources.
In conclusion, the rise of machine automation and AI has led to an alarming increase in unemployment, threatening the stability of our society and economy. Companies driven by profit without conscience are to blame for this crisis. To address the looming catastrophe, we must urgently implement Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a safety net and embrace new, more equitable business models made possible by Web 3. The choice is clear: adapt and prioritize the well-being of humanity, or face the consequences of a world in turmoil.
