Nowhere did I say automation of all jobs was a good thing. The fact that Midjourney is making people who do what they’re passionate about for a living obsolete is proof enough of that.
My point was that if not even the most soulless, profit-driven bastards ever to walk planet earth can figure out how to save a buck by making a robot do jobs that we still underpay humans to do, it’s not because they haven’t tried, and it’s definitely not because they lack funding.
our individual existence doesn’t need to depend on our contributions to society (*based on availability, time of year, race, luck-of-birthplace, shareholder whims)
Good job, Einstein! What are you going to do with that earth-shattering realization? Go up to Jeff Bezos and tell him he’s being mean?
We can’t solve this shit in a day. I definitely don’t think it’ll happen in my lifetime and I’m not entirely convinced it can happen at all. Why are you going around saying “Why don’t we just automate all jobs” like it’s that easy?

I’m not, I’m saying jobs will be automated as we can automate them, we have pocket calculators instead of people calculators which were as impossible to comprehend to ancient Egyptians as the general pace of progress seems to be to you. How are you so bad at extrapolating that concept? If you want the world to be fixed and perfect build a time machine. If you want the world to be better, wait a decade. If you want your life to be better, wait a day.

Haven’t yet. Time doesn’t end now. we didn’t have the car for 2.4 billion years before it was invented either.
You’re literally complaining about them not doing what they’re doing because you aren’t happy with the results yet.
