Can you present a proposal for how should we adopt technology with less chaos? Are you accounting for the lives saved through better technology?

  Yes. We compensate disrupted industries and make long term plans to adjust around the technologies. The advent of the PC exposed it early to kids, it advertised its usefulness to the public, and it offered digital trainings to adjust to a new workflow. In the worst case, we help any redundant roles get a new job in the indystry or offer other benefits like early pensions. As we see here, this tech is only taking and not giving much back.

    You only want this because it is tech that is getting disrupted - the compensation would be provided to you now

      Not really. I don't think I "need" it myself. My sector will be much more resistant to the advent of AI compared to others anyway, so I'm not worried of being displaced short term. My industry didn't need AI as an excuse to lay off a bunch of people every year. I'm just demonstrating that advancing technology and throwing a whole job sector out with nowhere to go is not mutually exclusive. And that the lack of any such conversation means we'll just go down the same bloody path as last time in history.
