The world is such an interesting place at the moment.
The USA has startups and builds software. Web services and AI.
Europe has bureaucracy and builds regulations. GDPR, work regulations, DIN standards.
Where will this end? Long term, when AI makes human labor obsolete, what does Europe have to take part in world trade? We don't have much natural resources either.
- Nextgrid 3y ago> what does Europe have to take part in world trade? Build actual physical goods that all this bullshit "services" economy nevertheless requires and takes for granted?
- TekMol 3y agoBuilding physical goods is a service too. And will soon require the AI to do so. Why would someone in the US, China or India buy a physical product build by a machine in Europe for which the European company has to pay an US company like Tesla to use their software? Why not build the thing right in their country?
- mardifoufs 3y agoThe US does both though.
- LadyCailin 3y agoSo what is the solution here? Get rid of protective regulations? Nah. If humans are irrelevant, the. We have an entirely different set of problems to solve anyways, and no reasonable way to predict what the solutions would be. In the meantime in the present, I’m more than happy to keep consumer protection regulation, until there is a non-speculative argument to be had, but then at that point the discussion would have to be on the merits of the new situation.
- TekMol 3y agoWhy is there "no reasonable way to predict what the solutions would be" in a world where work is done by AI? The US already has a solution. Build that AI and charge others to use it. Same as they do with "old school" software.
- nvm0n2 3y ago> Get rid of protective regulations? We do not need to be "protected" from, er, YouTube ads.
