Improving our daily lives is more than just that. You are getting the convenience of faster delivery. Less people in cars means less accidents, less pollution due to optimized speeds/routes, fewer cars due to batching similar tasks together, etc.
Innovation and automation lead to jobs being lost that were based on repetitive, unskilled tasks. However that has been going on for thousands of years and it puts to the burden on the labor force to gain more skills. We can go down the hole of UBI, leisure, specialization, etc. but we shouldn't stop the pace of innovation just because we are worried if society can pick up the slack.
- simmanian 8y agoTotally disagree that we should push innovation with no regard for human costs. There has to be a balance. I am worried that my future kids may end up unable to find work or that they might live as the privileged among the sea of homeless.
