With investments AI and robotics automation, I've long been convinced that capitalism is going to eat off its own head, even before the current AI boom.

The general public won't accept a system where only a small few have the means to get by and without much work being available to humans anymore, we'll need an alternative economic system, or face serious civil unrest.

With capitalism, for work to be done, you need the possibility of homelessness and/or other types of poverty to motivate humans to work. But that isn't required for robots.
