Are you actually doing anything in that direction or is this “tough guy on the internet?”

I see literally zero people doing the equivalent of “breaking the factories” like the luddites attempted

>>Andrew+(OP)
We're not there yet. The luddite movement formed and acted over decades not years.

Do you not see the overwhelmingly negative response to AI produced goods and services from the average westerner?

>>denkmo+r
So, no then. Like I said upstream, nobody is going to anything about it.

At a certain point it’s too late.

>>Andrew+(OP)
I think we'd need a lot more suffering before we have enough people to start that kind of action. If we see 35% unemployment over the next 5 years with insufficient time to adjust, then maybe the pitchforks come out.

>>tejohn+e3
So then we should just go slightly slower?

What if it’s over 10 years?

>>Andrew+S3
Well, time is one aspect but we'd also need motivation and proper execution for a reasonable chance at successful adaptation. My guess is we'll coast along the boundary. I don't imagine things will move so fast as to cause the sort of general upheaval that I think you're talking about. But I do think things will move fast enough to cause significant harm on a larger scale than we've seen recently in the West.

>>tejohn+9f
Yeah, I agree that’s the most likely future.
