The people want zero taxes, 100% services and a $10,000 tax rebates. But turns out you can’t give them that. Stopping new technology diffusion so that panic isn’t induced is no different an ask.
My post was about what we should do instead.
Assuming you're human, this makes me think that you don't actually have any logic for your position and are instead ad hoc formulating an argument after picking a desired conclusion, rather than logically working your way to a conclusion.
I don't think most people see it this way, and if we can expand government help to help people transition through career upgrades then the thing people are panicking about need not come true.
This is not going back and forth, there is real tumult, but damage can be avoided. And I think we should communicate that reality clearly instead of offering a public veto on all new technologies.
Quoting myself again
“Utility workers are 10x wealthier than lamplighters and that same job transition is coming to cognitive work as well. The real catastrophe would have been banning electricity distribution grids even though that’s what the rioting (see: “panicking”) lamplighters demanded”
PS: 90% sure you’re a troll bot mostly because you’re highly engaged with how I’m arguing as opposed to what I’m arguing. Just FYI for anyone else reading this.
a) counter-intuitive
b) change, and therefore scary.
But historically this has played out the exact same way and there is no evidence that it won't play out the same way with AI.
You're ignoring the examples I'm giving you (lamplighters), so I'll use yours: When automation came to coal mines, the coal miners became coal extraction machine operators.
I'm curious now how you'll claim again that I've "overtly changed" my argument: Change is hard, but can be managed.
Countless lives were completely destroyed in spite of 'government retraining' promises. Those who carried on managed to do through some menial labor and other jobs, many with even worse conditions and for worse pay. For instance trucking was a fairly common new profession - where you're away from family pretty much all the time, and getting paid even less. It's a horrible job, but it's the sort of work that was left for them.
