> "Machines should think. People should work" This dystopia has been envisioned for more than 80 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q030WNZvXrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q030WNZvXrA It's a good reminder that social and technological progress must often be fought for separately. The market is brutal when applied to people. Worker fungibility is a value add for the company, and yet it drops wages to the minimum, since the worker's individual bargaining power is practically non-existent. The traditional answer is unions, but even that becomes impractical as the cost of replacing a worker approaches zero. This is especially relevant when the buzzwords of the day are crowdsourcing and independent contracting. Are we really making things more efficient and creating value, or are we just helping drive down the wages of people that already have a hard time scraping by?
