    Maybe both partners working 40h+ commute and caring for children and doing household (or not get children at all) is inhumane. With AI things will become worse. Human brain is not designed to never do any repetitive task again. It needs repitition. But these tasks must be fed to AI now.

      I agree wholeheartedly – inspiration and creativity are usually spawned out of boredom and inspiration. In years gone by, humans spent most of their time bored, and inventing ways out of their boredom. The boredom happened during menial tasks, and the inspiration happened during the leisure time.

      By removing the ability of humans to be bored, and reducing their time to be independently inspired whilst bombarding them with never-ending content, that’s likely going to have long lasting effects on how humans develop and think

      100 years ago, each family worked 40 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

      Today, each family works 80 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

      In order to restore the labour rights of 100 years ago, I propose a 20 hour work week!
