No matter how much we advance and abstract things there’s always a trade-off. You can’t escape the reality of having to toil unless someone else has already done the toiling for you. It’s like the natural law of thermodynamics transcending through human experience (can’t create anything for free).
- EtienneK 4y agoAutomation is already doing a lot of the toiling for us and this will increase in the future.
- bigiain 4y ago> Automation is already doing a lot of the toiling for us The big unanswered question in that is who is “us” referring to there? Who is going to benefit from the toiling of automation? Especially when considering some of the poster children for robotic automation are Amazon and Tesla? The cynic in me doesn’t see much upside to automation for Amazon warehouse workers or Tesla assembly line staff.bit I have no doubt it’ll make Elon and Jeff richer still.
