    Good read. I really like the bit about “AI is not just a tool”, but a machine, and each new generation of machinery has brought unemployment. I didn’t think of it like that.

      The issue is that this argument literally goes all the way back to the technology of looms, or building a pile of food.

      The problem with all technology is in the system it is being built within, and who that benefits and how.

      When the richest few get to make that choice, we always seem to end up in the same situations. The richest few also are good at fucking with every attempt being made to build a system that doesn’t fuck us all.
