Of course, productivity will soar, but so will political-economy tensions over how to divide those gains fairly. We didn't do that for the working class, as they tell us anytime anyone listens to them, which is never for people with middle-class jobs - until they see yet another shock election result.
Ironically, one of the AI answers we were shown was to the question of the implication of higher interest rates on capital-labour dynamics from a Marxist perspective. The answers it gave were good... if you don't know a great deal about Marx. The bot said higher rates would mean lower profits, so downwards pressure on wages - which the bond market is saying too. It didn't mention how higher interest rates clash with the supposed tendency of the rate of profit to fall, or how Okishio's theorem disproves that while showing if you divide productivity gains fairly, you can avoid class struggle; or how higher rates hurt "fictitious capital" more than "productive capital", and so the ultra-rich more than workers (if Okishio is listened to); or how capital and labor can suffer equally via higher rates - which the bond market is also saying, and stocks aren't.

ISIS leader Bilal al-Sudani, who was a "key facilitator for ISIS's global network," was among the multiple terrorists killed in the "assault operation" ordered by President Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
"[A]l-Sudani was responsible for fostering the growing presence of ISIS in Africa and for funding the group's operations worldwide, including in Afghanistan," he said. "This action leaves the United States and its partners safer and more secure."

Extinction Rebellion protesting against Black Friday in Warsaw, Poland.
Maybe you saw Van Gogh's Sunflowers smeared with two cans of tomato soup. Or the 20-year-old man who set fire to his arm at a tennis tournament, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "End UK Private Jets." Or the traffic on London's M25 highway blocked by protesters for days. One 24-year-old girl, Louise, climbed atop a crane on the highway. "I'm here because I don't have a future," she exclaimed between sobs.
All these stories feature young members of a movement that claims to fight climate change by demanding their governments stop using and producing fossil fuels immediately.
Their methods seem unorthodox, and you're probably wondering how defacing artwork or gluing your hand to the floor of a Volkswagen showroom reduces carbon emissions. I don't blame you.

More than 47 per cent of those who identified as a different gender than they were registered at birth were aged between 16 and 34 - even though the age band accounts for less than a third of the wider population.

Jim Raug, founder of FAF, has seen an increase in instances of fentanyl poisoning, which occurs when a person accidentally ingests the drug. Fentanyl poisoning often also occurs when someone, especially a child, comes into close contact with even a minute amount of the drug, which is 50 to 100 more potent than morphine, Fox News reports.
"It's so prevalent in society now," said Rauh, who lost his 37-year-old son to fentanyl poisoning in 2015. "Distribution goes to dispersion by entropy. That's the law of physics. And it's showing out because of the mass quantity of this material. ... It's so prevalent that just our innocent children, by incidental contact, are being killed. And now it's creeping into the schools and other enclosed environments."
