Hello lemmy! ^^

I was given this debate topic for an ethics class and since I really like this “small” tech savvy community that we have I wanted to know what were your thoughts.

I personally love the idea of replacing jobs so we can focus on the things we love and care (ranging from developing games to spending time with loved ones).

But on the other side I am rather scared that our society will not be able to follow the rapid growth of technology and put in place good regulations to avoid widening the gap between the top% and the rest of us

Thanks for your answers ^^

    If we can assume some solution to the economic problems caused by this (UBI, for example) then I’d give an enthusiastic hell yeah. Why should we have to do unnecessary busy-work when there’s technology that could alleviate us of it?

    AGI means humanity gets to retire. Retirement can be pretty awesome, it’s the goal many people work toward in the first place.
