    Did you lose your livelihood because your iPad made composing easier? If not, then technology didn't destroy your work.

  > When technology destroys work people don't like to do, it's progress. The Luddites would beg to differ. People don't work because they like it, they work because they need to. "Work" that doesn't support your livelihood is correctly referred to as "play." The interesting thing is how society differently reacts when different classes of people lose their work due to progress.

I dont think I have ever said this though. Telling truck drivers to learn to code was disgusting and horrible. There HAS to be a better solution to these things that society can come up with. I don't have those answers, but jesus christ look at the shit show below my original comment. I am not saying pause research, stop AI, or do anything like that. I welcome the eradication of certain medical issues. I just want to know what society will do? To be frank I have said in other threads as well... if I lose my visa and job my only solution I've thought of as of yet is suicide.
