>The above is what slaves could do 150 years ago. We have lost much - it is worth not having slaves in society, but if you would have had a slave (or servant) 150 years ago your life is worse in some ways for that progress and I want it back. I also want this affordable for everyone.
I'd recommend avoidance of references to "slavery" in this manner... It really just comes across wrong to likely anyone who knows what real slavery is like... Polarising language.
- f6v 3y ago> It really just comes across wrong to likely anyone who knows what real slavery is like... Let’s be fair, nobody here likely knows what slavery is first-hand. And even if 0.01% knows, so what? It’s an important debate. We’re talking about building robots with human-level intelligence. It’s worth discussing whether they’re going to be slaves.
- bluGill 3y ago"real slavery" covered a lot of different ground. The vast majority of slaves were hard labor - farm and mines being the largest use of slave labor. Only a small minority were "house servants" of the type I described, but that minority did exist.
