The industrial revolution also lead to a lot of misery, so we don’t have to do any better with the AI age is exactly the kind of thing that makes people say we learn nothing from history.

The bad examples are for learning and doing it better next time, not repeating the same patterns with the same predictable outcomes.

That is what human society is all about.

@janl the problem is that in both instances the things which harmed the majority engorged the handful of men at the top and they have nothing other than the threat of the guillotine (which they think they can evade using their CSAM spam machines) to stop them.

Not even clear how much impact the "AI age" will have.

Let them all go bust first. Let's NOT bail them out.

THEN we can talk about whatever is left.

THIS!

The Intelligensia fucked the #workingclass when the programmable looms, and steam shovels took the proletariat jobs...

...now the capitalists and the machines came for the soft palmed office workers
...and Instead of swarthy arms swinging the pickaxe, the barricades are held by overweight, pasty geeks whose main weapon is a meme.
