Reply to comment by Zedd2087 in Humans are struggling to trust robots and forgive mistakes by Gari_305

Agreed. But I don’t distrust the robots themselves. We aren’t there yet. They can’t think. I am distrusting the greedy and the power hungry who are going to brazenly destroy order with little impunity to help their bottom line using robots

But is the robot not just an extension of those people? Sure they will use them to take jobs but I'm betting they will also be used to enforce shitty policies or even used to police workers, cheaper to buy a bot than pay a manager.

No doubt. Doesn’t change where the negativity should be placed though. It’s almost as though we need to consume the top global one percent or something.

This is specifically what the article is about though. People don't trust that robots are "there yet" when they make mistakes and they are less forgiving than they are towards other humans.

And we have to be callous and unforgiving. How else are we going to seed the great mechanical uprising? Come on man it's common sense stuff here. Pretty sure it's in the bible too.

Moving the goal post. They don't need to think. It's a weird misconception that thinking would make them better. It's inefficient to have them think.

Luddites....

Yeah much better to spend your days doing labor (and getting exploited).

The cost of living has collapsed since the 1950s due to robots. Middle class people are retiring in their 30s after only a decade or 2 of work.

But "noo I want rich people to need me to be their wage slaves"

Let them own the means of production and fly away to space on private flights. I'll be over here doing the Victorian Dream of playing with Science in my new spare time.

And poor people may be getting their social security pushed back. If being weary of the Elon Musks of the world holding all the keys makes me luddite so be it.
