I tend to like not fearing starvation every year, not fearing freezing to death every year and not having the vast majority of my kids die. Industrialization led to all that.

- inigyou 2mo agoI didn't realize we were still in the industrial revolution.
- inigyou 2mo agoWow, HN really believes that AI is keeping us from freezing to death?
- JuniperMesos 2mo agoWell, we're all going to die of something unless we invent radical life extension technology. I personally hope that artifical intelligence makes progress on this before I myself get old and die.
- YackerLose 2mo agoPost-industrialization, AI-fication, Human Replacement (whatever it ought to be called) could take that all away.
- bob001 2mo agoI didn't make the analogy to railroads. I'm just pointing out that its a terrible one if you want to use it to argue against AI.
