I don´t want to be seen as a comunist, but, if AI is going to become real,
we better start to change the current system before it trigger our
extinction.

Alternatives?  I see two clear:

1.Working credits: You have an amount of work assigned and you can invest
it wherever you want, so it can give you more money. And you can buy more
working credits etc.

2.IA works, money is shared equally to every human. So everybody has food,
health, existence is assured, education is assured and people doesn´t have
to invest 1/3 of his life doing things to try to "keep flying" the other
2/3.

First is just an extension of today´s system, but everybody works in the
same (invest work credits) and.. everybody works. And there are poor and
rich people.

Second sounds like an utopy. Not only that: Is a utopy unbeatable, And
indestructible, as long as IA police would keep the system running.
