The next time this topic comes up, notice how quickly people run into the weeds to discuss all of the social impacts. Happens every time.
There are a handful of people working on the tough problems in the world, the rest are just bullshitting about why if it ever happens, society will collapse.
- CaptSpify 10y agoSociety will inevitably change as technology changes. I see no reason to avoid thinking about the problems that technology might cause.
- nugget 10y agoHate to break it to you but I worked around some of the most prolific hard scientists in the world and many of them genuinely enjoyed bullshitting about the potential future social impact of their work.
- melling 10y agoGood for them. Kept them motivated. The rest of us aren't adding any value. Straight to the bullshit.
