She sounds nuts but she's basically just saying that AI + robotics = no need for manual labor. Which is actually a real issue we will soon face.
My former colleagues talked in all seriousness of the coming "robot luxury communism." This is absolutely a thing for leftists, especially silicon valley types.
The volunteer tracking device and credit/remote punishment system are more worrysome than DARPA's robots at this point, IMO
With nuclear fusion "useless eaters" will become "valuable data goldmines".
Elon's girlfriend just bought herself a ticket to the surface for the extinction event.
And in turn, communism will bring ALL THE MOTHER FUCKING GUNS OUT.
Without hesitation!!
Actually what she is saying makes perfect sense.
Communism is the system where the government controls all aspects of production and consumption.
Communism has never worked because people are inherently self-interested and massive dysfunction is the result. Every time. It was also not really possible for people to set prices for every product using rules and communist logic. It is too difficult a problem for the state to solve even if everybody involved was honest and good.
What she is saying is that an AI would not necessarily have any greed or lust for power. An AI could theoretically truly be motivated to making the best life possible for every human being and try to balance resources to make it happen. An AI could have the ability to manage all the information where no government ever could.
Imagine that the perfect AI would arrive at the same prices for things that perfectly un-corrupted capitalism would produce. The same salaries too.
IMHO this is all just a fantasy. Who knows what an AI would want? Who is in charge of developing the AI?
An important distinction. Nobody wants bro's AI deciding the best way to help the world is to get us off it.
zuckerbuck and gates probably
AI brings us whatever the fuck you program it to bring you
Until it learns.
Well ... huh, I guess we see what Elon sees in her.
AI is just going to be another tool, it'll raise the bar.
If you're worried, get involved in some capacity and make sure there are more people using it for good than there are people who use high-tech for bad.
Several screws rolling round in that nutty noggin.

As Uglo-Americans go, she's right up there with Whoopie Goldberg and Stacy Abrams.
