Martin Ford Asks: Will Automation Lead to Economic Collapse? | Singularity Hub
- thetrumanshow 16y agoI would not have upvoted this, except it wasn't written by some paranoid academic... it was written by a (paranoid) software engineer. When I tell close friends and family what I do for a living, any more I tell them that the core of my job as a software engineer is to reduce the amount of people required to perform business functions. At the very least, it is valid to consider the repercussions of this at scale.
