Zyklon B was also fundamentally an automation of labor.
Technology is value neutral. What you call cynicism is actually people thinking more critically about technology. Technology is not a fundamental good. It can be detrimental and destructive. It can be used to oppress, to kill, to harm.
Approaching this following a "we can fix things later" stance is horribly reductive and misguided.
You spoke of History in other replies. History is littered with technological advancements that caused immeasurable harm to society.
- solenoid0937 6mo agoYour mistake is that you think I am taking the generic stance of "technology is good" when in fact I am taking the stance that automating labor is good. AI is a general tool to automate labor. Won't even engage with the comparison to Zyklon B.
- surgical_fire 6mo agoOf course you won't. In fact, you didn't engage with any argument beyond the emptiest of platitudes.
