There is a huge group of people who just have irreconcilable differences in worldview that will be antagonistic towards AI and robotics. What I think will happen is a fragmentation of territories and online subcultures where there are a range of laws and tolerance or acceptance of AI and robots.
Actually this is probably going to divide the population even more than the false left/right dichotomy.
Eventually there will be what is essentially a new species of transhuman with high bandwidth brain-computer interfaces to AIs 2-10 times more powerful deeply integrated into their cognition. They will have to accommodate the luddites with what will essentially be people zoos.
Gradually the transhuman will also need to be cordoned off. It's likely post-humans will leave earth or go underground.
But this article is the beginning of all of that. He doesn't understand, doesn't have the background to understand and is not interested. Rather than trying to go to battle with these groups, it's best to find places for them to stay and do things their own way without interfering with advancing civilization.

- musicale 4y agoWho would want to go back to being merely human when the inhuman part is immortal and nearly omniscient? What kind of transhumans would intentionally de-optimize themselves for mere nostalgia? The vestigial human component can be thrown away and replaced every few years, or eliminated entirely for cost, efficiency, and aesthetic reasons.
