I think programmers should stay away from trying to be musicians. Have you thought of some of the people that might lose their jobs because of this technology?

- kertoip_1 3y agoAnalogically, engineers should not invent cars, because that would make carters obsolete
- vouaobrasil 3y agoIt's not an absolute rule. The rate of adoption and evolution should be taken into account. Just like some speeds for driving are safe and some are unsafe.
- v7n 3y agoTechnological advancements have always disrupted industries. Should we stop innovating just because some way of doing some thing might become less profitable? Absolutely not.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI think we should stop innovating, mostly and return to a relationship-based system with other animals and plants.
- noman-land 3y agoSocial relationships are an evolutionary innovation.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI meant we should stop techological innovation of most kinds.
- noman-land 3y agoThere was a point where relationships and community were technological innovations to aid in survival. Agriculture was a technological innovation. Fire was a technological innovation.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoYes, and there is a law of diminishing returns that technological innovations have reached.
- v7n 3y agoHave you thought of some of the people that might lose their jobs because of that?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoIt would be a small loss in return for a stable biosphere.
- kome 3y agothat's a silly comment. if it's serious, but i'm not sure you're serious... but to be serious: yes, technology sometimes causes social dislocation. and that's serious. but civilized societies have many ways to deal with social dislocation, like welfare, retraining, etc. Musicians are not going to lose their jobs because of technology. The CD hasn't killed live concerts. But as a society, we need to do more for those who fall out of the productive system. As productivity and wealth increase, the only problem is redistribution.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI am 100% serious.
