2023: the year of A.I., CBDC and universal basic income?

Perhaps the highly technological future that lies ahead is attractive and wonderful for you or perhaps it makes you uneasyItalic, but whether we like it or not we have to accept that the near future will change our lives in a decisive way, so all our beliefs and ways of seeing the world must necessarily adapt to the new era or simply perish.

Recently, an innocent news story about a fully automated McDonald's restaurant has been making the world go round. In effect, the service in the fast food establishment is designed in such a way that the user or customer does not interact with other human beings from the moment he or she enters the shop until he or she leaves. On the other hand, McDonalds managers clarified that the restaurant has the same number of human staff, the difference is that customers will not see them.

Knowing the working practices of the famous hamburger chain, I have no doubt that in the next few years a large part of the human staff will be replaced by machines directed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), who will take over the work of the equivalent of 90% of the payroll or workforce that they had in 2022 (I am not saying that this will happen in 2023 but it will be the year that the gradual beginning of the change that we had so much predicted).

It is a fact, in the eyes of the elites we are expendable beings. Those of us who make up the human race have the unpleasant tendency to get tired, to be slow, to suffer illness, pain, to have feelings, to protest for our rights and to demand freedom and democracy, values that do not fit in with the vision of power of the masters of the world. So for them the most sensible thing to do is simply to give us freedom, yes, that's right, it sounds paradoxical, but not in the way we think, but like someone who deliberately abandons a domestic pet in the middle of the Amazon, scared and lost, not knowing what awaits it behind the next rock or what lurks in the bushes.

This loss of jobs seems inevitable. I remember a mistress recently telling me that after 15 years of his life working in a car park he was made redundant to be replaced by an automated system to optimise the flow of cars on the site. This mistress complained bitterly about this decision by the company, concluding his complaint with the question: what do I do now?

Evidently, if most of us, in the eyes of the masters of the world, are the same as the mouthpiece after the pandemic (which is still going on), then it is obvious that the best way to shut our mouths (and the noise in our bellies) will be to assign us money for just existing. We were already given some of this syrup during the pandemic, as we were "voluntarily" confined to our homes while receiving a monetary allocation either in the form of cheques or directly into our bank accounts to overcome the health crisis while being treated like lab rats.

It seems that the result was what they expected, people, as they received money from the State month after month without doing anything, spent it immediately, in addition to momentarily reducing protests and encouraging laziness through the proliferation of online video games, football, web betting, Netflix, youtubers and live streaming, in exchange they experienced the highest global inflation in history while it began to be noticed in the amount of household goods and food missing from our cupboards and fridges due to the impossibility of acquiring them. In view of the success of this plan, it makes sense to include the digital version of the fiat model in the equation, i.e. the so-called CBDCs.

Evidently, given the lack of jobs that awaits us thanks to the automation of work and the explosion of AI (especially in the service sector of the economy), 75% of us from 2023 to 2030 will only receive a universal basic income, while a small group of society will be in charge of creating and generating income through the use of artificial intelligence until it forms an Artificial Superintelligence that makes the whole of humanity dispensable.

Now we find this proliferation of web portals that allow us to order an AI to create anything we can imagine a curious tool, however it seems that we do not realise the fact that if this technology is now within our reach it is for a reason, because evidently they, its owners and creators, have already ordered that the rest (us) have access to this Pandora's box. So, what can we do: let us throw ourselves from the top of a skyscraper or assume that this exists and use it to our advantage?

I have no proof (but no doubts either) that a good part of Hive users are using this technology to create content, either to generate images, videos or writings, and it will be left for future discussions whether this is ethical or breaks the rules of the community, what is certain is that those who have access to this type of tools and know how to use them have a powerful ally that differentiates them from the rest. We must consider that in the coming years human society will be divided between those who know how to use these technologies (and I am not referring to what we do with our Iphones) and those destined to receive an income in digital fiat money, a situation that places us in the dilemma of the mistress of the car park: What do I do now?
