Utopia would be one where humans can focus on art and science to advance our race while the mundane work of running a society is all automated. Stuff like this is not enough, but it seems like a step in the right direction where income remains the same to maintain a standard of living while still producing the same output

Yea sure, and then slowly slowly even stop those who work 3 per days, right? So the AI csn do all the job. Now they lose money, but once they put AI they will only win money.

AI is good, they develop AI to help us, and then, one day will ditch us.

It is easier to have AI optimize the bullshit jobs than the shit jobs.

Great, that can be his next project after making sure the COVID vaccine was subject to patent law.
