Do you feel bad for the minimum wage and non w2 people whose jobs you automate away being in tech?
I’m a highly paid tech employee and idk it’s different feeling bad for someone who lost their $10/hr job vs someone making 400k tc
- Apocryphon 4y agoNon-engineers are being let go as well.
- moomoo11 4y agoTrue but still I mean being a w2 employee at big tech is a pretty good gig.
- nuggets_ 4y agoNo, because the rising tide of automation should, at least ostensibly, lift all boats. If the extra utility created by automation is captured by technocrats, that’s a political and social problem, not a technical one. Pointing out the ways that technology can be abused isn’t an argument against technology - it’s an argument against abuse, and for governance that optimizes the wellbeing of constituents.
