Ai will improve the lives of many more people that any single person. βTheoreticallyβ, AI can cure every disease and achieve scientific miracles that can improve lives, so why should these people be against it? Itβs because they wonβt get paid, thatβs a capitalism issue not ai

None of these words make any sense or have anything to do with what copyright legislates lol. Who tells you this stuff?

It is genuinely a massive failure of governance to be unable to imagine a fair post-labor government system and desire toil and death for the rest of history even with the ability to remove it. Not to mention, it'll destroy the planet.

Personally, it sounds pretty dystopian to me to live in a world where all labor essential for human living could be automated but isn't, stagnant because inefficiencies in society must be forced to prevail above everything.
Richard and others fail to see how a *general labor machine* is qualitatively distinct from every other form of automation that has been developed in history.
We have historically automated *tasks*, but not *labor* itself
The question of whether AI can actually become the Universal Labor Replacing Machine remains an open oneβitβs certainly not there yetβbut the implications for a world in which it *did* are very obviously different than with previous automation technologies

(Ironically a lot of right wing and accelerationist cope about AI is insisting that it will creates more jobs somehow, which I think they're wrong, it really is pretty different this time)

True. I've always hated the argument that it "creates more jobs." The point is that jobs suck and we shouldn't work

If AI really gets better than a human doctor, assuming a full in-person checkup, better judgement and automated testing, I personally wouldn't want my hospital to have me seeing a human, for my own health.

Will not have much effect due to the international nature of the competition, but might limit some of the worst impulses, especially on things related to safety.

This is why a lot of trade unionists hate international workers, their biggest boogeyman before AI used to be outsourcing, and often different unions with different incompatible interests compete against each other.

This is why I've made no secret that I dislike American style trade unionism, because it's self-interested and doesn't seek societal change, it seeks a specific balance for specific industries, but it's often selfish towards everyone outside of it.

It's not ideal that the response has been to try to figure out ways to either limit AI or somehow try to keep the relationship between workers and employers rather than try to imagine different forms of governance.
If your concern is what are people going to do or how they'll make a livelihood that's a genuine cause for a social movement that seeks a society of fair governance and welfare, but Cassie's ideology is "how do we maintain the status quo between employers and workers forever"

I'm ngl that I don't think that anyone should be thinking about how AI should be made to create more jobs or something, because I do 100% believe that most jobs will go away with AI. I think people should be thinking what a post-labor society looks like.
Personally, it sounds pretty dystopian to me to live in a world where all labor essential for human living could be automated but isn't, stagnant because inefficiencies in society must be forced to prevail above everything.

Or one of the most likely things in the near future, which is the replacement of drivers, leading to a world with virtually no traffic accidents and efficient and safe roads even if it costs many millions of driver jobs, and it doesn't happen, it'd be a societal disaster.
