What is the steelman argument, made by AI utopians and optimists, about how people will pay their bills, once AI and humanoid robots make jobs obsolete?

For example, in this recent NYT podcast, Nick Bostrom said:

>You could have the A.I.s and the robots doing basically all economically productive tasks. You then have a leisure society where there is no longer any need for humans to work in order to get a paycheck.

He talked a lot about not having to work, but unless I missed it, he didn't explain how people will pay for rent and groceries.

And Elon Musk said:

>
“My guess is, if you go out long enough, assuming there’s a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely, money will stop being relevant at some point in the future,” he said. 

Great, but how does this work? What about school tuition, food, rent, health care, how does AI create these things without anyone spending money? If you have a humanoid robot at your house doing all the chores, who buys that and pays for maintenance?

Ikea "Nojig" organizer boxes fit perfectly in the top of the Yukon toolbox.

I don't see the OBD port, this is driver side, should be under the fuse panel, right? Could it be behind the wide black panel that the red wire is going into?

EDIT: I found it, that's the OBD bracket with the two copper squares, right under the "airbag" tag; as suggested, it was dangling below/behind the bracket. Thanks folks.

The vehicle registration fee calculator for CA DMV omits the city of Los Angeles from the city popup menu, which I confirmed via chat, where the representative suggested I choose a different city to get a rough estimate. Mildly infuriating.

Here's the site: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/wasapp/FeeCalculatorWeb/usedVehicleForm.do. If anyone's curious, you don't have to enter any info, just choose "Los Angeles" from the county popup, and then see if you can find Los Angeles in the city popup.

Edit: thanks for the responses. I do understand that I can get a close idea by selecting a different city, or "other." I just thought it was notable that they would list so many cities in Los Angeles county and leave Los Angeles city off.

I'm in Los Angeles, and plan to buy a used Bolt EV (sedan). LADWP (power & water utility) has rebates, up to $1,500, if you buy and install one of their approved units. I don't expect anyone here to go through every charger on their long list, but can anyone provide any leads so I can research this myself to find an affordable charger that will work with a '22 or '23 Bolt EV? I'll do the research, but I've never owned an EV so not sure where to start.

I live in an apartment building with my own small garage, but the 120 power outlet is the landlord's power. So I will need to hire an electrician to set up a charger for L1 or L2. L1 is fine if it's significantly less expensive (including installation); but if the cost is about the same obviously I'd prefer L2. (My understanding is for L1 slow charging I don't need a charger, just a regular 120v outlet, but if I go that way I'll need an electrician to set up an outlet where the power gets billed to me instead of my landlord).

Edit: I disconnected solar panel, turned the generator off and back on, and was able to connect.

I have a new 1000v2, and downloaded the Jackery app (the "Jackery" app, not Home app). I hit the + button, and the app found the unit, but it seems hung on "connecting Bluetooth." I've tried quitting the app and starting over.

I checked the 1000 manual, I don't see info on connecting. Do I need to press something on the 1000 for BT connection? Will it not connect while charging?

I need to remove the front wheels on my '12 Hyundai Accent, which has 21mm bolts. I'm having trouble finding a 21mm lug wrench, but I see there are ones available with 13/16" sockets. Will that work? I've found an L type 21mm wheel wrench online, but I'd prefer to buy something soon, locally. I'm in a huge U.S. city, but I can't find an auto parts store or hardware store or Harbor Freight that has 21mm 4 way or L wrench.

Edit: I tried a 13/16" lug wrench, and it doesn't fit over the 21mm nuts.

I searched and found posts about offgridstore dot com, but not offgridsource dot com; anyone bought from them?

They've got the best price I've found for a Jackery 1000 v2 and 200w solar panel; $629 plus tax (free shipping), for $690 total (with new customer discount).

Anyone know if this is a reliable store, or if there's a better price for this kit elsewhere?
