Yeah, but to a lesser degree at least 😄

Which one is at a lesser degree?

I’d say we have much more control of our own personal lives now than we would during a singularity. We also can’t individually determine what technology hits the market (and what it does to society), but we can control our own decisions and reactions to said technology right?

By pretty much every account, we are way more in control of our own lives than we are of automation and AI. So it’s kind of a silly comparison in a way.
