One of the funniest things about the “artificial intelligence is an existential threat” crowd is their worry that some powerful AI will treat humans as a raw material it can use to further its goals and what they’re really describing is actually existing capitalism.
@HeavenlyPossum That may or may not happen one day far into our future.

It’s happening right now! But none of these dorks seem super worried about capitalists using us as raw materials.

@HeavenlyPossum Why do you think the new business terms for us are "Human Capital."
@ablackcatstail @HeavenlyPossum Indeed. And the staff required for hiring workforce are now called human recourse management.
