    I didn’t say anything about nothing in that comment, at least regarding AI.

    Honestly I think washing machines are smart enough nowadays and I’m basically done doing dishes when I’m done cooking, anyway (what else to do but clean up your mise en place while waiting for things to finish?) so when I start eating there’s literally only the plates and cutlery to wash up which is nothing. It’s not that I can’t afford a dish washer it’s that I plain and simply don’t need one because I don’t have a rowdy 10-head household. Also cooking is art do you hear painters complaining about cleaning their brushes.

    OTOH, seeing it on this kind of “laundry and dish washing” level is ignoring the deeper question, anyway. It’s not about laundry and dish washing, it’s about shit that keeps us from doing what we want. Some 15 years ago or so I read in the economist (practically the only thing I ever read there) that with the then levels of automation tech, we could produce western middle-class living standards with 70% unemployment. Why the fuck do artists need day jobs?
