It’s not just you, it’s a lot of the country that’s rapidly going from concerned to pissed. If they read more threads like this, they’d probably already be coming for us with torches and bad intentions. They’re worried that tech is full of disconnected, vaguely autistic (and they don’t know what that means beyond iRobot), too-smart-for-their-own-good people who care more about making money than poeple. In my experience that’s incredibly unfair, but it only takes a small percentage of loud and callous voices to make us all look bad.
We need to start cleaning our own house, or it’s going to be cleaned for us by people with agendas and little understanding of what they’re cleaning!
Lot's of people are talking as if human beings are a resource which exploitation should be secured for the businesses and technical curiosities.
No, people, humans are what matters and it just happens that there are business opportunities and scientific curiosities. No, it not O.K. to kill few people to speed up the development of self-driving vehicles. No, it is not O.K. to have total surveillance so that we improve AI.
