orgwho told you this, and who hurt you?
I’m asking you specifically to compare your opinion of the recent robot production in China to this. Robots doing people’s jobs in manual labor.
I had a conversation with Yogthos about this and he was 1000% in favor of robots and AI taking over the jobs of humans. And since he’s a very very vocal member of your community, I’m curious how… aligned… all of you are.
i don’t get why we need to be aligned on this, but i can give you my unironic 2 cents:
technology itself is not inherently good or evil, it’s subject to the power structure that controls it. eg. microslop or palantir are wasteful and evil, and making ai for wasteful evil sort of thing. or even how computing itself is used for distraction and surveillance by late stage capitalism but it’s actually a great tool when used for good.
will china (or anyone else for that matter, really) use their dancing robots to toss real humans aside for cheaper labor, or will they be used to free them up for enjoying life?
i’m unsure how things are playing out from their side yet, but if we could explore and legislate robots and ai on our terms instead of some group of sadistic pedophile’s, i can see us building nice things with them and using it’s resource requirements wisely to make ourselves happier.
if not, then well, i guess robots will just keep worsening our current cyberpunk dystopia.
