but what does this have to do with capitalism? (apart from it being the scapegoat for all problems as per the current narrative).
it's a cute phrase but I'd suggest 'late stage fiat' is more apt. I think this as with hard money instead, there's no need to perpetually eek a living, as the rising tide lifts all boats.
In the battle of capital vs labor, the capital wins when the laborers are not needed.
You probably don't need very much news at all. I like learning interesting second-order effects of current events, but they aren't necessary for my life. Here's a few I found interesting lately:
Gen-Z doesn't go to parties anymore because they are on screens all day and/or have social anxiety
Photoshop tutorial business is cratering because people aren't interested in learning how to manipulate photos when they can just create one via text
Japanese guy called do-nothing-guy gets paid to go to restaurants with pretty women in Japan because apparently they can't get a date or are too shy or something terrible is happening with the social fabric in Japan idk what
Its interesting to think about automating the news, you'd need a news feed from every courthouse, twitter feed, sports arena, press release -- run them through various processes, identify trendlines, etc. no small task
The secular papers at the time confirmed the events, so this hot take is low-efefort and low-information and obv wrong.

AI, robotics, drones, self-driving: all poised to take a lot of jobs.

Here's my list of things making it worse: cities designed for cars, no third spaces, poorly designed public space, hostile architecture, no social safety net, replacing social relationships with parasocial relationships, filling every moment of idle time with glacing at your phone, smaller families/smaller extended families, low access to nature, needing a second job (or low free time), too much screentime.
The promise of replacing labor costs with bots is too tempting for Wall Street. The money will keep on rolling in.
