I understood it as agreeing with the main point ("technology is good, it's something we should work towards, AI can improve society") while acknowledging the caveats ("technology isn't always good, we should be careful introducing it, and definitely no 100% free market")
Because technology has made the world significantly better place in the long term. But that doesn't mean it will continue to do so. Moreover, despite the fact that average QOL today is generally regarded as much better than anytime sans maybe the last 10 years, it's still much lower than it can and should be, and partly so due to processes which technology and free market have enabled.
- Qwertious 3y ago"AI can improve society" reminds me of "Principles of Economics, Translated" (a great 5min video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVp8UGjECt4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVp8UGjECt4) - "\#5: Trade can make everyone better off." The same translation can be applied, methinks.
