People who say "we need to figure out a plan to prevent AI from putting people out of work" don't seem to understand that what they're really saying is "we need a plan to ensure AI doesn't drive economic growth." They're two sides of the same coin.

@binarybits What's the point of economic growth if human beings are pets, totally at the mercy of a tiny number of corporate overlords for their very survival?

@Noahpinion That would be bad! I don't think that's the world we're heading toward.

@binarybits But you can see why simply lobbing the words "economic growth" at people doesn't win them over? Yes? I hope?

@binarybits @Noahpinion What are the mechanisms that you think will prevent this?

@binarybits @Noahpinion We need to upgrade humans. Current humans are dumb. Just look at our politics and wars. Noahpinion can't seem to get this through his skull
