I understand your concerns but I'm also generally against holding back technological progress as a way to slow down the roadmap to the inevitable bad things that will result alongside the good ones.
- rw 18y agoTechnological sophistication is orthogonal to societal progress.
- Hexstream 18y agoSo in a parallel world where computers and the internet (or equivalents) never happened society would be at exactly the same level?
- noonespecial 18y agoI wasn't suggesting that we should hold back progress. Like I said, I love robots. I just think that maybe we shouldn't kill so many people with them. Having a technology but deciding not to kill people with it is within the realm of the possible I hope.
