Why does it matter? I would love it if I could get my drill driver to build the cabin for me. It would save me a shitload if work.

I actually have no problem with that either? Mechanical minds or mechanical muscles, who cares?



Exactly, that's what I'm saying. Humans aren't needed, and we can drop them from the economy. Hopefully after we figure out some sort of utopia, but probably not -- so I'm doing what I can to avoid the permanent underclass that gets run over by AI.


I’m sure there were peasants in feudal times who escaped the permanent underclass by joining some army, only to get slaughtered in a pointless battle. Even if there’s some underclass society is going to keep evolving and evolving. I don’t think anybody alive today knows what the future looks like.
