I mean, if a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? Even if yes, does it matter?
If we're just going to let the robots be the only thing we see all day long, why not just call it - hang up the hats build full AGI and blow up the humans.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> we're just going to let the robots be the only thing we see all day long This is an uncharitable reading of someone wanting peace and quiet from time to time.
- alistairSH 3y agoGoing downtown on Super Bowl night isn’t exactly peace and quiet. But yeah, taxis and Ubers can suck sometimes.

- konschubert 3y agoYes it makes a sound and it matters as much as you want it to.
- SeanAnderson 3y agoI don't consider driving in traffic to be a pinnacle of human experience worthy of preservation. I certainly have concerns about AI automating away some jobs, but I thought stop-and-go city driving was something everyone could agree on as being worthwhile to eliminate. I'm surprised there's such a staunch defense.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>but I thought stop-and-go city driving was something everyone could agree on as being worthwhile to eliminate. It's mixed. Driving is both a career and a pastime/hobby. I can certainly see a long term (30+ year) shift to AI driving being a hindrance to the latter, even if the efficiencies would be massive (e.g. there wouldn't be such thing as "stop and go city driving" to the extent of modern day driving. Stop and go is a product of inefficient human sensors and signalling). As a career, yes. It probably won't exist in 20 years at this rate.
