Key difference: productivity gains in agriculture made food not only more plentiful, but also cheaper.
We can say the same for the steam engine and transportation. It made it cheaper to move goods and people.
Question is whether advancements in AI translate to making some fundamental goods or services cheaper and more accessible.
- Gehinnn 3y agoDoesn't the free market regulate this?
- ricardonunez 3y agoIt is going to make profits more accessible to those at the top; that’s that.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoAnd gains in computing made computers cheaper. An esp32 which is way way more powerful than desktop machines ~30-40 years ago costs $4, you can buy a full laptop for ~150eur, or a smartphone for even less. Yes, of course AI will make stuff cheaper and more accessible, but you'll want more and more of that stuff. Just count the number of "computers" in your home now, and think what else will become "smart" in the future.
