I'm very conflicted about this. I'd reckon that the majority of us working on these AI and robotics systems do so to try to make the world a better place; so that maybe one day people won't have to slave away in warehouses all day and pee in bottles because they can't take the time to use the bathroom. Those good intentions always get corrupted by corporations and greed. So do we stop trying to push the envelope? Do we not try to make the world a better place for fear that it'll be corrupted? I really just don't know
I think we probably need to stop having massive corpos that force people to piss in bottles, seems like the correct answer to me.
You're right. I have no idea how to do that, though. One could argue that the solution to that problem would also serve as the solution to the problem of people losing their jobs to automation/AI.
yeah idk either, talking about it seems like the best way to figure it out to me though.
And yeah it would probably snowball to a more productive and healthier workforce.
