Why do I sense a schadenfreude here? It's like people are rooting for their failure.
You sound surprised. Why?
After all, they have been selling their product on the basis of driving the value of human labour as close to zero as possible (your labour included). Why wouldn't people want such an endeavour to fail?
Tech and automation exists to drive the marginal cost of labor toward zero. It's just happening faster now.
> (your labour included)
Right, it's disrupting you now instead of just dumb people.
Other tech was developed as a productivity boost, and for jobs it may have displaced, it ultimately created more.
The ordeal feels like 2yo who hasn't learned yet that the pee will come no matter if he wishes to play or not.
The future is what we make of it.
And we already know what choices will be made.
I can't really make sense of this sentiment, because I don't really understand what it is you mean by "overtake".
Do you expect AI to replace human's who think for a living?
They're telling us human endeavors are no longer needed if they succeeded, they also warn us that they might accidentally cause the end of the world in the process.
Why shouldn't we root for their failure?
