i don’t get why we need to be “aligned” on this, but i will give you my unironic good faith 2 cents:
technology itself is not inherently good or evil, it’s subject to the power structure that controls it. eg. how computing itself is used for exploitation distraction and surveillance by late stage capitalism but it’s actually a great tool when used for good.
will china use their dancing robots to toss real humans aside for cheaper labor, or will they be used to free them up for enjoying life?
i’m unsure how things are playing out from their side yet but they do have better incentive structures, and if we could explore and legislate robots and ai on our terms instead of some group of sadistic pedophile’s, i can see us building nice things with them and using it’s resource requirements wisely to make ourselves happier.
if not then, well, i guess we are fucked in the cyberpunk dystopia.
it’s definitely not the direction it’s going right now. i can only guess if we can change it before climate apocalypse or nuclear winter becomes inevitable.
i know for certain the next decade or two are gonna be interesting in a “oh fuck fuck fuck” kind of way for a variety of reasons.

Do you think that’s the direction the world will go?
