Billionaires are going to benefit from AI at the expense of everyone else. That's not leftist ideology, that's just a fact. That's happened with every technology that's ever been created. It happened with the industrial revolution. Why would it be different this time?
- marand23 5mo agoA few years ago i had laser eye surgery and now i can see well. Something that was not possible 50 years ago. Claiming that EVERY new technology comes at the expense of normal people is an absurd statement.
- fc417fc802 5mo agoComing at your expense and benefiting you in some way are not mutually exclusive. For that matter coming at the expense of the average joe and then many years later benefiting the average joe seems to be a common theme.
- NiloCK 5mo agoWhat do you think of things like the changes to infant mortality or life expectancy between the industrial revolution and present day? EG, my own oldest child needed a surgery at birth that would have been logistically impossible even 50 years ago. I'd say that she and I have benefited enormously, despite not being billionaires. edit: I solemnly swear that the sibling comment with the strikingly similar "impossible 50 years ago" claim is a pure coincidence and that I at least am not a bot campaign. Haha.
- marand23 5mo agoI mean, i can assure you that I am not a bot either, but wouldn't a bot say that? :p But yeah, quite a coincidence that we both chose 50 years :)
