I can and do agree with you 100% on the rest, but this made me LoL. Enterprise code being documented is a unicorn.

Frankly, Iâ(TM)ve thought about seeing what caliber of docs come out of handing some AI a codebase. Even if itâ(TM)s half-wrong, itâ(TM)d beat the nuthinâ(TM) I usually get.

Sportsball (all flavors) are fast moving high churn cut throat businesses. Unions abound among them. Their owners still end up being billionaires.

Movies bla bla bla cut throat, yet SAG and Directors and gaffers and grips and key and etc often are guilded or unionized. Right now, I hear a lot about how the system has shifted until careers are challenging... but they'd be worse without their unions and the unions are their only hope in renormalizing to a living-wage thing.

Your point is invalid.

Counterpoint: look at how computers ended up being ubiquitous. And cars. And TVs. And flatware. And glass dishware. And aluminum materials. And microwaves. And home refrigeration. And internet.

Let's look at your example, 3d printers? They're down to a couple hundred bucks for the basics. The electronics of these printers continue to plunge in cost. And let's face it, neither resin nor filament printing really solves home manufacturing. The barrier to 3DPrint ubiquity for these seems function, not cost.

I think UBI will help in general:

It'll mitigate unemployment, let folks work on useful but nonprofit things, and (seldom mentioned) will create a cycle: Competition for those UBI sheckels will motivate innovation.

Will Rogers said it a century ago: let the money spend some brief bit of time in a poor man's pocket; it'll end up back in the wealthy's hands swiftly enough.
