Only when looking at this through our common understanding of how societies work.

Broad automation of tasks can be great for society if and only if the product of that automation is not treated as some kind of private property.

I’m not hyped on an automated future because I find it quite unlikely but if it were to happen it has the potential to be transforming beyond expectations.

Star Trek or Bladerunner? That’s a choice we can make.

No. Most of the time WE can't make this choice. It is imposed on us by the elites.

We still have a lot of power to decide what we want, the problem is that this power is not well leveraged yet.

Do we have the choice? It feels like the market makes such decisions and regulation is not only a taboo but impossible with competition between states.
