The technological race among industry giants and the wave of layoffs they have announced has revived the debate about the advisability of taxing automation

EL PAÍS English
@carnage4life long history of workers fearing bosses trying to replace them. Luddites and looms. Cars vs the horse industrial complex. Factory automation. Offshoring, child labor, migrants, and other cheaper labor arbitrage. Now, #AI amid other disruptions, and we still don't have national safety nets so we can sleep at night. #AItaxes for negative externalities. #basicincome for courage.
